Description: Freewheeling Serenity and her boyfriend, Peter, want to get married, though they're only nineteen. And their parents agree, but are determined to have a large traditional wedding with hundreds of guests. Searching for another approach, Serenity visits a Quaker cousin in Rhode Island. There, she discovers that the Quaker approach to marriage is more about clearness and true fidelity of the heart than about country clubs and guest lists. Will Serenity and Peter allow way to open? What will change as they learn to put the relationship before the ceremony?
