Foreword

Perhaps you too have imagined a secluded spot where you could go and shed inhibitions -- those artificial constraints that we are saddled with. A place where people are open to acting out the fantasies that are unspoken and rarely admitted.

But can we really cut out all our fantasies? Won't society fall apart without structured rules to follow? Don't we need strictly delineated roles -- for parents and children, for instance?

Perhaps this is true, but the desires and feelings we have not honestly evaluated can lead to guilt and repression.

The exploration of those desires provide this novel with its raison d'etre. There is no superficiality -- no facade in the hearts and minds of the characters within. Honesty is a goal that can be reached by the members of THE WILDEST FAMILY. Honesty is a trait that society could probably use a great deal more of.
