I think my dad bought this book for me when I was in the fourth grade.
Although now that I think about it, it seems like a strange book for my dad to have bought me.
Maybe my mom bought it?
It seems like maybe it came from a Catholic bookstore, and it doesn't seem like something I would have asked for, more like something a parent would have bought for me to help me through the transition into young ladyhood. (Not womanhood. I'm sure my parents did not want me to be a woman. They wanted me to be a lady. A proper lady, no less.)
In any case, I read this book over and over.
It went like this: There was a story about a preteen or young teenage girl. In each story, the girl was faced with a dilemma. Often she made the wrong choice. Always she learned a lesson. After each story there was a prayer (to God) pertaining to the story/dilemma/lesson.
In one story a girl had her mom buy her a fashionable pair of shoes that didn't fit properly and hurt her feet.
In another story, a girl is invited to a come as you are party.
I couldn't remember the name of this book for a long time, so I asked about it on the What's the Name of That Book Group. Here's a link to the discussion:

UPDATE: I just got a chance to reread parts of this book on 2-12-15. It's awfully golly, gee wholesome. The families in the stories discuss their problems and work things out in a way my family never did. The stories are hokey and the illustrations dreadful. But I read this book again and again, because I didn't know any better.
