The Memoirs of Maisie 

Love–Plain and Fancy! When granddaughter Paula started a dangerous flirtation with the gardener’s son… And daughter Sissy got too chummy with a dashing man of the world… Maisie saw her past flash before her. She was a woman who had lived and loved both plain and fancy. And what went on about her now brought her past vividly to mind. Maisie has nothing to hide. Both her present and her past–reckless, vital and uninhibited–become a delightfully open book.
