☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Confessions of the Lovelorn #79 (March 1957) This issue contains two romantic stories. "Without Fear" follows Nesta Simms, a talented young painter from the South whose raw talent catches the eye of Professor Schuyler Hunt at a gallery exhibition in Berkeley. When Hunt pursues her romantically, Nesta initially rejects him due to her insecurity about her lack of formal education, but ultimately accepts his proposal after he convinces her that her artistic potential is worth more than social status. The second story depicts a woman named Lucy who, after awakening from being hit on the head, finds herself rescued at sea by a man named Dan—revealing an unexpected romantic reunion.
In "Ivy Hates Paul!", two heartbroken souls find themselves stranded together when a sudden flood cuts off their escape from a double cottage. Ivy and Paul, each nursing a broken romance, start off bickering bitterly—until forced to rely on one another for survival. When a bear approaches during the storm, their rivalry gives way to something unexpected.
When Ivy is jilted by her fiancé, she flees to an isolated cottage to nurse her wounds—only to discover that Paul, a man nursing his own heartbreak after being walked out on, has rented the adjoining unit. What begins as a bitter war of pranks and insults between two people determined to avoid the opposite sex becomes something far more complicated when a flood traps them together. As disaster strikes and survival becomes the only thing that matters, both discover that hatred and love might be closer than they thought.
Lucy, home for summer, finds herself caught between love and her fiery temper when she falls for Dan Brewster. After a rash act damages Dan’s boat just before the Tuna Derby, she steps in with her own vessel—only to face cold treatment from Dan’s client, Sandra. As tensions simmer and old habits threaten to resurface, Lucy must prove she’s changed, all while Dan watches closely.
In "Everyday Girl!", Linda struggles to fit in with her highbrow lawyer parents, feeling out of place despite their wealth and intellect. While brilliant young Don Maxwell courts her, she finds herself drawn to Hal Parks, the down-to-earth gas station owner who sees her for who she truly is. When Don proposes, Linda confesses her fears and dreams—simple, domestic ones—and tells her parents she wants to marry Hal, not for his status, but for the life she envisions.
