Foreword
Western man prides himself on his ability to forge his own destiny. And yet many people find they are not always able to rule their own fates. Often, a single, traumatic event will change and reshape their lives.
There is the young girl who, after a brutal rape, becomes a bitter, frigid young woman. Or the bright, self-confident businessman who, after losing most of his money in a poor stock investment, becomes a drunken derelict.
So too does fate play a tragic trick on Janis, the young girl who tells her own sad story in this book. A girl whose sexual drives are unusually powerful even before she reaches her teens, she becomes the unwitting victim of one man after another, and her life becomes a long string of broken promises and shattered dreams.
And each time she is subjected to another crushing blow, she tries to bring her life back to normal-going to work, taking care of her home, performing the usual daily routine of a young American girl. But it is a hopeless task, for Janis is in reality the victim of her own overpowering sexual urges.
A work of fiction for entertainment, yes, but also the chronicle of one young girl's pathetic struggle to find peace and happiness. A story that all too many of us will find familiar.
