Foreword
This is a book in which so much happens that the title can only touch on a highly visible piece of the whole. What happens when families break up—for the wrong reasons? In the long run, are the children better off and do the husband and wife really solve anything? This is the kind of question that should be foremost in the reader's mind as he goes through the pages presented here.
As most adult novels do, this book shows that unhappy sex life does not have to be a trap from which there is no escape. Divorce, as unpleasant as the word is, does offer men and women a second chance in life for happiness if used wisely. The question always is, what is wisely? Wisely, of course, means don't repeat the same mistake.
What about the rest of the book?
Well, sexual liberty isn't a new theme. Nor is sex for youngsters. The question of when a youngster is old enough to experience the full force of sexual experience is often debated and is very debatable. Perhaps the safest and wisest course is to do as the author has done here—to show that there are good and bad sexual experiences and instill in the reader the realization that good experiences don't always bend to conventional morality and that bad experiences are not excusable because they flaunt social mores.
Basically, adult novels are a study of the human condition, twisted and turned under the microscope, studied to show that part of human life which is kept in darkness. They do not appeal to all persons nor do they even have a message for some. But there can be no doubt that their messages deserve to be said somewhere—need to be said.
