Foreword

It seems very much a truism that people are basically creatures of habit, that they cling stubbornly to ingrained patterns and beliefs rather than explore unfamiliar pound. Very often a cataclysmic event is the only means of prying a person loose from a cherished behavior pattern or belief.

Witness that long-time opponent of socialized medicine who, upon the discovery that his daughter is critically ill with cancer, suddenly reverses his position. Or the cynic who shunned his fellow man who suddenly finds himself giving aid and succor to beleaguered fellow survivors of an air crash.

Joanne Hickman is a woman of definite beliefs, a woman who clings to traditional patterns and standards. It is only when she discovers relatively shocking incident in her home that she is willing to change her frigid ways and attempt to extract the most from her life.

TEACHER'S NAUGHTY WIFE -- the story of a woman suddenly placed in trying and unusual circumstances. And how would someone else react? A timely question -- one we would do well to heed.
