Tobey Heydon Series

Tobey Heydon is "practically seventeen" and thinks she is old enough to make her own decisions. Whether it's saving her sister Alicia from last minute wedding disasters to keeping her sister Janet informed on her son's well-being to hiding her diary from her little sister Midge, Tobey handles it all with Brose by her side. They survive the arrival of a beautiful blonde at the lake but will they survive Tobey's mysterious date for the Heart Hop?

When Tobey Heydon wears Brose's class ring, her family insists that it be understood they are not "going steady." This inevitably leads straight into difficulties and misunderstandings. But what Brose likes best about Tobey better even than her nearly-red hair and her smile is that she is so honest. A boy appreciates that quality in a girl. So when she tells him she is going to a college dance with another man, he is secretly reassured even while he growls. However, things become more and more complicated until the class ring changes hands for a while.
