The Malt Shop - Authors: Helen Dore Boylston

The Malt Shop - Teen Romances of the 50s

Helen Dore Boylston wrote a kind of book that was quite popular in the 1940s through the 1960s--the career novel. And one of the most-written about careers was nursing. No career seemed to offer as much variety and dramatic tension as nursing--unless it was acting. Boylston's two career novel series gave a fascinating look at the life of the mid-century career girl. Plenty of excitement and romance followed both Sue Barton and Carol Page through all their endeavors.
