So back in the 80s, my dad, who was sick of my romance novel addiction, made me read a book about a teenage girl who had to survive being dropped off on a wild planet for a set period of time, in order to become a full member of society. I don’t remember how it turned out, but I think she was able to find other kids that had been dropped on the same planet…. I wish I had more detail, but does this sound familiar to anyone?

It was a soft cover, I’m in the US, and I remember a girl wearing white boots, but that’s about it… I would love to find it again.
