Copyright 1945 by Kathleen Norris. First Edition. Printed at the Country Life Press, Garden City, NY. Doubleday, Doran and Company, Inc.

"Here is a new love story filled with the enchantment and the heartache of young romance. It concerns a sensitive girl of eighteen who made a mistake that threatened to wreck her chance for happiness. Jennifer Richie's first love was the wrong love. The moment she met Sidney Borrows on that rainy street corner with the San Francisco sea fog closing in, she felt the lure of his reckless charm. Sid had money, social position, sophistication, poise-- all that Jennifer had not. She fell deeply in love, and love to Jennifer meant complete, unyielding trust. Then in helpless despair she watched Sid lose interest and drift away. Other men came into Jennifer's life who were devoted and sincere, but always the shadow of her affair with Sid hung darkly over her conscience. Jennifer finally shook this specter from the past, but only after Fate dramatically stepped in and brought her release and the promise of real happiness." "Mrs. Norris is one of our great romantic novelists whose ability to spin a tender love story never falters. In 'Burned Fingers' she again displays her warm and compassionate understanding of the dreams and problems of American youth."
