|  | The War Between the Classes by Gloria D. Miklowitz
Seventeen-year-old Emiko, known as Amy by all her American friends, feels trapped. She loves Adam, an American boy from a wealthy family, but neither her traditionalist Japanese parents nor Adam's snobby mother approve of their relationship. When Mr. Otero involves his whole class in the 'color game', an exercise to acquaint his students with class and color prejudice, Amy and Adam find themselves on opposite ends of the spectrum--and Amy realizes that she must fight for what she wants.

 | Summer by Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Ammons, Flo Gibson, Marilyn French
Wharton called this companion novel to Ethan Frome, hot Ethan. The heroine, Charity Royall (unlike Ethan Frome), is determined to experience passion and engages in a tempestuous love affair with Lucius Harney, a young man who has drifted into the Berkshires during his college vacation. Eventually, Charity becomes pregnant. The novel reflects the easing of Wharton's stern moral judgements, and is one of the first novels to deal honestly with a young woman's sexual awakening. The author stated of her own work, I do not remember ever visualizing with more intensity the inner scene, or the creatures peopling it.
