Lovely Rita

by Randall Blair

Overview

It's spring 1963 and Clark Westfield, 17, has it all figured out. His social isolation bubble protects him when his family moves to a new city every summer, and he starts a new school every fall. But then Rita arrives from England. A half-sister Clark never knew he had, Rita forces him to confront his two passions: baseball and Julie Wells, captain of the cheerleaders. He has pitching talent but no game experience; and he has a debilitating lack of knowledge about girls and sex. A baseball tournament, music, and the high school prom provide the focal points for Clark's fitful growth. But will it all crash and burn when his father announces their next big move? Lovely Rita is the first book in The Education of Clark Westfield trilogy. The next books, Curse of the Nice Guy and Clark's Choice, are due out in the fall 2016 and summer 2017.
