Elizabeth Berg is the author of Earth's The Right Place For Love. This is a love story set in the 1950's in Moline, Missouri. Frank and Arthur are brothers living with their parents. Their father has a milk route and uses Grimy, their horse, to pull the milk cart. Their father is a war veteran and sometimes, when drunk, becomes violent. Frank is three years older than Arthur and in his final year of high school. Frank works after school at the grocery store. Arthur works for neighbors, yard work, cleaning, for neighbors on weekends. Arthur looks up to Frank and asks for advice in math, with friends, and with girls. Arthur has a crush on a girl named Nola. Unfortunately, Nola has a crush on his brother Frank. This was a sweet story about life in a small town, love, and friendship that turns into love.
