GOOD-LOOKING COWBOY, sensitive, intelligent, 21 years old wishes to correspond with equally understanding, sophisticated city girl. ---------- Janie Downs, unsophisticated, small town, sixteen-year-old, sees the magazine ad and knows it's the "something exciting" she's been waiting for! She begins writing secretly to Duke McCoy and pretends she's all the things he wants - including older. Peter, Janie's boyfriend - good-looking, smart, fun, and the star of the basketball team - adores Janie. But when she loses herself in her dreams of Duke, Peter gets tired of being second best...and walks away. Then Duke writes that he's coming for a visit, and Janie panics! What will Duke think when he meets the real Janie? And has she lost Peter forever? [text from book jacket]
