"Dorm life, dorm food, blind dates and mixers, the right (beat-up) clothes, the need to fit in AND to do well (Striving for the elusive Summa) - Susan Allen Toth has captured it all, down to the last familiar detail, in this warm, funny, poignant and very true account of a midwestern girl at Smith College in the late 1950's". Publisher's Notes

"Toth's memoir of four years at Smith is emotional acupuncture, unerringly accurate...you don't have to be an alumna of a Seven Sisters or a graduate of the Ivy League to feel tingles of recognition...written with humor, detachment and wry affection." - Los Angeles Times
