"Slater and Jenny, who broke all the commandments, learned the last one the hard way: Thou shalt not look behind thee." The author of this original paperback was actually Marijane Meaker, who also wrote novels on lesbianism as Ann Aldrich and later, under other pseudonyms, became an award-winning writer of young adult and children's fiction. This copy has light spine head and cover edge wear, darkening on the cover backs and modest page toning. A tight, square spine and no writing or markings in the book.
