Foreword
Outwardly, suburbia maintains the straitlaced 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 wife 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 their own lifestyle what already is the norm at home?
This is the story of one family, the Bentons, Fred and Laura and their teenage daughter, Sherry. It is startling as a mirror of a way of life behind closed doors. No facade. No regrets. Indeed, to them it is the norm.
The norm... for the Bentons, yes. And how many other families like them?
This is a novel of fiction for entertainment. A page of our restless society as food for serious thought.
