The Velvet Room

About this book

Robin was always "wandering off" (her mothers words) to get away from the confusion she felt inside her. It was not until Robins father found a permanent job at the McCurdy ranch after three years as a migrant worker that Robin had a place to wander to. As time went by the Velvet Room became more and more of a haven for her--a place to read and dream a place to bury ones fears and doubts a place to count on. The Velvet Room first published in 1965 was a Junior Library Guild selection and part of Scholastic Books Arrow Book Club.
