"Yesterday's Kisses" follows a ballerina named Lilli Parkova whose dream of stardom is sabotaged when a man named Russ Winthrop plants a malicious Broadway column item, revealed to be part of a scheme to steal her away from her true love, Anton. "The Dope and the Dream Boat," by Betty Hill, depicts Freddy Merritt's attempt to win a date with the kind-hearted Susie Wray at Ashford High School, only to have a brutish rival named the "dope" interfere with his courtship. A third story deals with a woman named Lorna torn between her love for Dave and her concern over his unwillingness to marry her while he cares for his widowed mother.
Lilli Parkova has finally achieved her dream as prima ballerina of Ballet Parisienne, but her triumph feels hollow—her partner and love, Anton Vlasek, remains focused only on climbing higher in the ballet world, refusing to marry until they've reached some indefinable peak of success. When the charming agent Russ Winthrop begins courting her with the warmth and attention Anton has withheld, Lilli must decide whether to chase the life she's always wanted or follow a man who may never be ready to give her one.
A young woman in the Yukon finds her comfortable engagement to Mike Davis tested when a new store manager, Steve Lawler, arrives and ignites a passion she didn't know she was missing—until a cruel truth shatters her daydream and forces her to face the consequences of her impatience and yearning heart.
When Eugenie De Montijo, a beautiful commoner, catches the eye of Emperor Louis Napoleon at a grand fête at Fontainebleau, a passionate connection blooms between them—but their advisers see only scandal in a union between an emperor and a woman of no royal blood. As court pressure mounts and duty threatens to tear them apart, Eugenie and Louis must decide what matters more: the expectations of empire or the heart's true calling.
A young woman caught between her domineering mother's need and her own desire for independence discovers that loving someone isn't enough when she can't trust herself to grow up. Lorna's secret engagement to Dave tests her resolve as her mother's influence pulls her in one direction and her heart demands she move toward her future—forcing her to finally ask whether she's ready to choose.
A girl convinced she needs to compromise her values to be popular gets a hard lesson when her best friend's reckless behavior lands her in serious trouble—and discovers that the boy she'd overlooked all along, Randy Stone, understands what really matters. When Randy finally shows her how her parents' old-fashioned rules about propriety weren't meant to hold her back but to protect something precious, Peg realizes that being genuinely liked for who you are beats chasing a crowd that talks behind your back.
