Claudia Barbour-Roberts-Lacey is attractive, wealthy, and worried! Her daughter Joan is a student at the university in Berkeley, across the bay from San Francisco, has recently left her sorority and moved to an apartment by herself. Claudia had a choice of giving her approval to this, or forbidding it and having Joan go ahead anyway, because she is quite independent - both financially and by nature. But is Claudia's concern justified? That's what she doesn't know, and she wants to talk it through with her brother, Paul, so that's where she is headed now.
