Foreword
Psychologists have long noted that man is a gregarious animal whose need for affection and emotional security is as real and basic as his need for food and shelter.
This social need is reflected many times over in our everyday lives. There is the teenaged boy who frequently smokes marijuana, though he dislikes it, because he fears being branded a "straight" by his friends. There is the suburban housewife who turns to an illicit affair because her husband, totally dedicated to his business, cannot or will not give her the affection she craves.
DAUGHTER JOINS THE ORGY -- is the story of a young, average American girl, Rusty Andrews. A bright teenager with many friends, Rusty is nonetheless filled with an overwhelming need for emotional security. For Rusty, seeking affection and security becomes a way of life, her norm. And for how many other young people like her?
A novel that poses a timely question for our increasingly decentralized American families.
