Suggested by user_11699
11-year-old Anne Greenwald and her 15-year-old sister Barbara were living a comfortable Midwestern middle-class lifestyle with their mother in Peoria, Illinois in 1945 when their father returns home after being in the US army for 6 years due to World War II. Thanks to the GI Bill, the Greenwalds are able to move to the suburbs in any city as long as Anne finishes 9th grade in Peoria High School. 5 years later in 1950, Margaret is now living in Levittown, NY as a new girl in General Douglas Mac Arthur High School. She can't ask Barbara for high school advice since Barbara's in college studying for her business degree and newly engaged to Gregory Mancini, a charming Italian American greaser. She misses her friends in Peoria and Barbara and now has to deal with being a new girl on her own. Her life changes when she joins the school cheerleading team, where she makes new friends and even meets a handsome baseball player. But when one of her old friends humiliates and betrays her, she feels more lost than when she first moved to Levittown.
