Barbara: A Novel of First-Time Intimate Sexual Adventure

Sexual intimacy explicitly portrayed through endearing relationships among adolescents and young adults as they experience the rewards and pitfalls of newly discovered emotions and desires. Graphically descriptive, the novel offers young lovers a wealth of insight into the often forbidden world of lovemaking. The story follows a talented and sexually curious Rock musician from puberty through adulthood, as he learns the hard lessons of life and love from a cast of endearing female characters. "Barbara is a no-holds-barred novel that, for young folks, could almost stand as a textbook of the unexpected highs and lows of early sexual experimentation. For us oldsters, it rekindles memories of our youth when rules were thrown out the (car) window in favor of that first taste of love in all its screwy, emotionally wrenching aspects. Fun to read, Barbara offers a sip of clear cool water in a world dominated by stagnant literary fiction." Hack Taylor, Book Review Editor, WM Publishing.
