California A Young Adult Romance
By Roxanne Jolie Renard
It’s June of 1960. Marline is sixteen. She’s been working hard, taking the most challenging college prep courses in high school in order to graduate early. She’s always been a good student and a good girl, but she has a plan. She wants to enroll at Stanford in the Fall and live in the dorm so she can get away from her controlling, annoying mother (Reda).
But “Mom” has a different idea. “You’re too young to leave home, Marline. Stay here with me for another year. Take classes at the local Sacramento State College. You have everything you need right here.”

The Vallemar Writing Group first began meeting in Pacifica, California at Vallemar Station. This compilation of works includes shorts such as best poems and stories. One of my favorite submissions is “Memorial Day” by January Taylor and Gyla Beth Seal. It’s a fun and unbelievable absolutely true story with mysteries, coincidences, and possibly even ghosts. Enjoy!
