Carney's House Party

It is the summer of 1911, and Carney Sibley is back home in her beloved town of Deep Valley, Minnesota. She's looking forward to hosting a month-long house party, with guests including her Vassar college roommate Isobel Porteous and old chum Betsy Ray. With lots of the old Crowd and a new friend--wealthy, unkempt, but lovable Sam Hutchinson--around, the days are filled with fun. And romance seems to be in the air. But Carney can never be romantic about anyone but Larry Humphreys, her high school sweetheart, who moved to California four years ago. Then Larry returns to Deep Valley and sets the town abuzz. Will Larry propose? And will Carney say yes?

In addition to her beloved "Betsy-Tacy" books, Maud Hart Lovelace wrote three more stories set in the fictional town of Deep Valley: Carney's House Party, Emily of Deep Valley, and Winona's Pony Cart. Longtime fans and new readers alike will be delighted in the Deep Valley series of books.
