Foreword
Outwardly, suburbia maintains the strait-laced, middle-class look that belies the social ferment behind closed doors.
There is the secret use of drugs, fed by the marijuana syndrome. There is the river of alcohol flooding from door to door under the euphemism of social drinking. Then, of course, inevitably there is the advent of mate-swapping. All in the spirit of good, clean fun...but where does the fun stop and the degradation begin? When one excess leads to another-and another-to what? When the children set as the pattern of their own life style what already is the norm at home?
This is the story of what outwardly appears a normal, average American family. It is startling as a mirror of a way of life behind closed doors. No facade. No regrets. Indeed, for this family, pleasures of the flesh are the norm.
THE FAMILY FOOLS AROUND-a novel of fiction for entertainment. A page of our restless society as food for serious thought.
