Excerpt from Play the Game
There was no denying the fact that Honor Carmody liked the boys. No one ever attempted to deny it, least of all Honor herself. When she finished grammar school her mother and her gay young stepfather told her they had decided to send her to Marlborough rather than to the Los Angeles High School.
The child looked utterly aghast. "Oh," she said, "I wouldn't like that at all. I don't believe I could. I couldn't bear it!"
"My dear," her mother chided, "don't be silly! It's a quite wonderful school, known all over the country. Girls are sent there from Chicago and New York, and even Boston. You'll be with the best girls, the very nicest -"
"That's just it," Honor interrupted, forlornly.
"What do you mean?"

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dynamic between privileged and underprivileged youth in early 20th-century California. The author chronicles the friendship between Honor Carmody, a spirited and athletic young woman, and Jamey King, a charming but disadvantaged boy living next door, whose family struggles with alcoholism and poverty. Carter Van Meter, a wealthy and sophisticated classmate, enters their circle, initially viewed with skepticism but eventually accepted. The author delves into the complexities of social class, gender roles, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment in the face of societal expectations. The narrative highlights the resilience and determination of Honor and Jamey, contrasted with the subtle insecurities and privilege of Carter, who despite his advantages, yearns for something more in life. This book provides a nuanced examination of the ways in which social and economic factors shape personal relationships and the choices we make, ultimately affirming the importance of empathy, authenticity, and the power of friendship in overcoming obstacles.
