Therese returns to New York to rebuild her life after the heartbreak. They begin to spend time together, and soon Therese realizes that she is in love. The woman, Carol, is going through a painful divorce and responds to the kindness of the card. The woman gives Therese an address to have the toys delivered, and Therese sends her a Christmas card on impulse.
She’s dating Richard, a man she doesn’t love, and on a particularly dull day working in the toy department of a store, she becomes fascinated with an elegant woman buying something for her child. This led her to feel abandoned by her widowed mother, a feeling she carries with her now. She wants to be a set designer for the theater, and when she was a young girl, she lived in a boarding school. The story begins with Therese Belivet who is just starting her life in Manhattan. It was unique at the time because it was the only lesbian novel to feature a joyful ending. It was published in 1952 and tells the story of love between two women. The Price of Salt is a romance novel by Patricia Highsmith under the pen name Claire Morgan.
