Glory of Youth
Glory of Youth is a 1913 romance by the American novelist Temple Bailey. Bettina, a young girl with red-gold hair, is left alone after her mother's death in a shabby seaside town where people remember her parents' unhappy marriage, her father having been a Venetian singer and her mother of old Puritan stock. Longing for bright and gay things, she resolves to leave, while the doctor who watches over her and the absent, admired Diana come to shape her fate. The novel follows Bettina's flight into the world and the cost of her choices, with the sentiment and moral earnestness that made Bailey a popular magazine writer.
