Secret Love #1
Secret Love #1 (1957) This issue is an anthology featuring an advice column by Edith Wood and Lovelorn Editor, where readers write in with romantic dilemmas. The first letter from "Sarah" concerns a girl whose mother warns her that her boyfriend may be unreliable like her own ex-husband, and the editor advises patience and careful consideration before marriage. A second letter from "Sally" reveals a woman in love with a soldier named Bill in Korea, but burdened by a secret annulled marriage from her youth, which the editor warns could become a dangerous deception if not disclosed before marriage. Additional letters address related romantic conflicts, including a young woman uncertain whether her feelings for a serviceman constitute true love.
