A Friend So Near
Always a little adventurous, seventeen-year-old Georgeanne Chamberlain has big dreams of becoming an actress or screenwriter. She imagines leaving her home in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and heading to California to attend a school for acting. Her mother is against Georgie's move to Hollywood; in the end Georgie feels guilty about leaving her mother, who has sacrificed so much for her-and so she chooses the safe path and heads to Indiana University.
There she experiences challenges she had not anticipated. Georgie had planned to share a room in Memorial Hall with Sandy, her lifelong friend from St. Patrick's grade school. But Sandy must deal with an unexpected pregnancy. In addition, Georgie's childhood love, Tony De Marco, attends Notre Dame, and they endure a long-distance relationship. Complications arise when Tony believes he is being called to the Catholic priesthood.
Ever So Near follows Georgie as she experiences the ups and downs of life and questions her decisions, her dreams, and her goals.
