Description
With a pinch of J. Courtney Sullivan's Maine and a dash of Lessons in Chemistry, Last Summer at Maine Chance transports readers to 1950s Maine, where one summer working at Elizabeth Arden's spa will teach a young economics student more than any classroom ever could.
Economics undergrad Cynthia Proctor knows everything about statistical impossibilities. In 1954, women like her from middle-class families do not earn degrees from prestigious New England colleges. When Cynthia receives notice that her scholarship will now be given to a male student, she knows her chances of graduating are slim.
But an invitation to spend the summer lakeside in Maine turns into a job at Elizabeth Arden's Maine Chance spa, where Cynthia will learn that the best investment of all is herself.
