Description "Saratoga" is the story of a determined teenage girl growing into a woman in the fictional town of Lafayette, NH. This unique contemporary tale is tinged with romance and has a sprinkling of humor throughout. Sara's full name is Saratoga Concord Parmenter. Her parents (Jane and Wilton Parmenter) named her for two of the most important battles in the American Revolution, and have instilled in her the importance of the founding principles of America. Her friends call her Sara most of the time, but she is also known as Miss Einstein. One of her favorite expressions is "Well, if you think about it". And after extensive thought on the subject of a career, Sara has decided to become an environmental engineer. Sara likes to think and inquire about many things. One thing that bothers her a lot is the fact that women in general do not get historical credit for the things they have done in far too many fields. And although she loves her country, she is annoyed that the Declaration of Independence states that "All men are created equal." As Sara reminds her father in Chapter Four, "And as I have said many times before, it should be 'All people are created equal', not just men." As she grows into a woman, Sara encounters and works her way through many of the issues facing us today. Her romantic life takes a few twists and turns as well, but she takes it all in stride with a lively sense of humor. Although "Saratoga" delves into some of the serious issues facing us today, these are intermittently and briefly woven into the story without putting the reader to sleep. This story is very entertaining, but it is also intended to get readers to think. To keep things on the light side, there is an occasional romantic twist, and the story is also sprinkled with a lively sense of humor, especially between Sara and her father.
