In "You Belong to Me!", Melissa’s mother Bibi, ever the dramatic matchmaker, pushes her to appear younger to avoid seeming old—until a college makeover and a new job in New York stir up unexpected feelings. When Melissa brings her art director Don home, Bibi’s flirtatious antics push Melissa to turn to Bibi’s latest boyfriend, Norman, in a moment of emotional turmoil. The fallout leads to a reckless drive and a crash, but both Melissa and Bibi emerge with newfound clarity. Art by Sam Cooper captures the era’s emotional intensity in this poignant 1951 tale.
