In 1947, Kathryn Forbes, nee Anderson, published her second novel, Transfer Point, regarding the daughter of divorced parents. Unlike Mama's Bank Account, for which she drew on the experiences of her Norwegian-born grandmother, the later novel was closer to Forbes' real-life childhood.
A young woman’s coming of age and the tribulations along the way. Still touching and revealing with a picture of American life that is universal even in the 21 century.
