"Dirinda at a Dude Ranch" follows a girl who escapes her sophisticated life to work at a ranch, where she encounters a steer named Ophelia and meets a boy named Bob Bryant, eventually realizing the simple ranch life suits her better than she expected. "Dorothy Dare: Queen of Hollywood Stunt Artists" depicts Dorothy performing dangerous stunts for a film production and impressing a bank president. "Kid Sister" features Rose Marie Lombardo, who has grown up to become a professional singer, married to Air Force Lieutenant Hemy Becker, and is now taking flying lessons to add to her accomplishments.
Dirinda Jones heads west to visit a dude ranch, but there's one problem—she can't ride a horse. When her friend Mary-Jane enters them both in a bronco-busting contest for a hundred-dollar prize, Dirinda finds herself facing down her worst fears in front of the whole ranch, including a couple of charming cowboys who both want to help her out. Will she survive the wild ride, or will the West tame her first?
Rosemarie Lombardo grows up as the kid sister of Guy Lombardo, the leader of a famous dance band, and spends her childhood dreaming of singing professionally alongside her brothers—only to be gently turned away until she's old enough. When she finally gets her chance at fifteen and then a professional singing role as a sixteenth birthday gift, she seizes the opportunity and becomes the band's vocalist. This 1947 biography follows her journey from persistent kid sister to accomplished performer, all while pursuing music lessons, art, and design alongside her ambitions.
