Publisher's Synopsis
"A real sizzler...don't miss it" Orrie Hitt
A completely frank novel of the gin-and-sin crowd in America's suburbs in 1960 -- where cheating at love has become the fashion, and moral bankruptcy threatens them all.
This is the intimate story of Ruth Gordon, whose reckless lust made a fashionable country club into a sin resort. She figured if her husband could cheat, then so could she...and a lot better. So in no time, lovely Ruth, already utterly desirable, became wholly accessible. Her feckless exploits curled the hair of even shock-proof members of the "station wagon wives" set, like Jean Edwards, a witch on wheels herself, and the shapely Ethel, the deadly female of the suburban species.
But the voluptuous adventures chronicled in the diary of a high school boy, indicated that the reckless Ruth was putting not only Jean and Ethel to shame, but even herself. Afterall, there were certain depths to which even the most sinful suburb could not descend. Or could it?
