Married to a rising young business executive, Joan Caruthers has her own lower class view of the world, her own moral standards and her own theories on what makes life interesting. This is a richly sensual book and Joan's fatal flaw is sexual in nature; but sex is only one of the many things which ultimately compel her to return to her people! Thomas Wolfe is famous for remarking that we can never go home again. In this profoundly exciting novel, Mr. Jensen is suggesting that perhaps home is something one can never really leave.
