Introduction
Incest. The word conjures up feelings of high emotion in all of us. And yet, in the climate of today's shifting moral attitudes, we sometimes lose sight of the fact that not every member of the so-called "older generation" is a prude, nor is every member of the "younger generation" a thrill-seeking libertine. Sometimes-in fact, often-variations of this theme occur within the same generation and, indeed, the same familial unit.
The principal characters in this fascinating work of fiction-that-doesn't-read-like-fiction are pert and incorrigible Vikki Haydon, from which the title of this book is taken, Carol Bauer, the unsuspecting young mother, and Grant, the young son and nephew who becomes the object of both sister's devotion. Add to these such savory characters as people New York's huge garment industry, and you have a first-rate situation for a fast-paced, no-punches-pulled treatment of a story that needs-indeed, has-to be told.
Inevitably, a story with the punch and frankness of this type must contain scenes which are as shockingly explicit as the situation itself.
Such scenes play a valid and irrevocable role in exposing the inner-personalities and motives of the participants ... and how they mesh and conflict to form a realistic psychological web of interpersonal relationships.
Accordingly, we are proud to make this fine study in morality available to you, the reader. It is without a doubt a fascinating excursion into an aspect of American studies that has remained largely unexplored. And, we feel it will add appreciably to the reader's current understanding of contemporary psycho-sexual mores.
