It Happened in Riverdale – https://books.apple.com/us/book/id1541412034

Riverdale is a fictional place in the 1960s. These stories reflect the flavor of that time, as heard through the voice of teenager Julie Scott. Although the stories are sometimes maudlin and melodramatic, sexist and gender stereotyped, filled with all the idioms and clichés and rhetoric stereotypical of a conservative small-town Christian community of that era in southern California, they represent intense expressions of a forgotten reality.
