Shari's biggest fear when she leaves home for college? She'll never have a date, never thrill to hand-holding and kissing. That's as far as imagination lets her go. She can't dream what she never experienced. It's 1960. Pop songs and movies laud the chaste aspects of love and romance. Hormones remain in the closet. "Prince Charming, Where Are You?" subtitled "My Days as a Cherry Girl" explores an eighteen-year-old girl's discovery of her sexual self with four steady boyfriends, all but one who dump her unexpected reasons. Shari shares her four years at SUNY in Albany, New York, in a unique format of free verse and end rhyme as she struggles with health issues, depression, boredom and the pain of lonely weekends. As graduation approaches, so does her last chance to find a husband, she's certain. In a last minute decision, she makes a bold move to get her M.R.S. degree.
