Foreword
An individual caught in a seemingly endless tug-of-war between his noble instincts and his baser ones, often comes to realize his conflict is little more than a game, though a game that holds very real and frequently damaging consequences.
Games such as this abound, reaching the levels of business, education, science, politics -- and even the family unit. Its presence is an unfortunate, but inevitable characteristic of society.
HUNG UP ON INCEST is the story of an attractive, single young girl, Alice Compton, and her struggle with her emotions. Pressured on one side by her love of a man and on the other by ideals grown concrete over several years, Alice must find a median toward satisfying both forces.
In the course of her "game", Alice is gradually awakened to the realities of life. Realizing she cannot live in an unorthodox world, oblivious to her surroundings, Alice finds her norms undergoing vast change.
Whether the changes that overcame Alice were derived from her upbringing, her own motivations, or her environment are among the questions posed in HUNG UP ON INCEST.
