Patty's Social Season

Patty is on the brink of her grand debut, and New York’s social scene has turned her drawing‑room into a botanical maze. Friends, acquaintances, and even distant strangers have flooded her home with towering bouquets, each accompanied by a polite card that promises endless thank‑you notes. As she scrambles amid the sea of roses, the chaos becomes a comic backdrop to the ritual of “coming out” in high society.

With her step‑mother Nan, the witty Elise, and the ever‑observant Mona at her side, Patty navigates the pressure of gratitude, the absurdity of endless floral deliveries, and the anticipation of the evening’s guests. The lively banter and playful rivalry among her circle capture the exhilaration—and occasional overwhelm—of a young woman stepping into the spotlight of the season. The novel offers a bright, humorous glimpse into the charms and challenges of a bygone social world.
