Description

“You know, I never eat young ladies on Fridays. Only Tuesdays.”
I couldn’t help laughing. “Do I look as apprehensive as all that?”
“Yes, rather.” He opened the door for me. “But I have just the cure for you. It’s David Rosenau’s patented shyness remedy, strawberry shortcake garnished with whipped cream, to be taken at least once weekly in charming company. Doctor’s orders.”

When shy, studious Kate gets a campus job typing for David Rosenau, falling in love with the brilliant professor is the farthest thing from her mind, but she is immediately attracted to David by his kindness and understanding as he is to Kate by her innocence and passion for learning. Together they share romance, adventure, friendship and heartache, sometimes all at once, in this May-December novel set in 1950s Seattle.
