Love is One of the Choices — Norma Klein

WHEN YOU'RE NEITHER A GIRL NOR A WOMAN...
Maggie and Caroline are both seniors in high school and suddenly everything that seemed simple has become complicated. Thinking about sex, wondering about college, planning for careers -- there are so many choices.

Maggie is brilliant and very self-assured. She considers herself a feminist -- until she meets Todd Lamport who challenges everything she's ever believed in and draws her into a special love affair. Suddenly independence doesn't seem the only way of life...

Caroline has never thought much of herself. She's shy, withdrawn -- and secretly in love with her chemistry teacher, Justin Prager. When he unexpectedly returns her feelings, she is thrown into emotional turmoil.

Norma Klein's wonderful novel explores the lives of these very different women -- and proves that no matter what we think we want from life, love is always one of the choices....
