The Restless Years.

Melinda Grant is a 16-year-old girl with dreams of leaving Libertyville someday and seeing the world. She is raised by a single mother, Elizabeth, a seamstress, and scandalized by the reputation of being illegitimate. At a school dance, Melinda is taunted by a pair of popular students, Polly and Bruce, but befriended by a boy named Will who tells her that, as the son of a traveling salesman, he's lived in many different towns. Will is troubled because his dad, Ed, is constantly angling to meet the other students' parents and make connections to help his sales business
