My daughter found one of my favorite out-of-print books on Ebay. I've always loved Ruth Doan MacDougall and I read her "Wife and Mother" back in college. I've been on the look for it for years, but copies on Amazon were quite expensive. She found me a hard cover on Ebay for about $18 and I was thrilled.

The books is about a college girl who goes out with a guy a few times, gets drunk on one of their dates, and ends up pregnant. In the years before women had any choices, she is devastated. However, the boy is honorable and wants to marry her.

The book is about how their life together evolves, two people that start out as strangers, spending their lives together raising their son.
