Author’s Forward
This book is a bit of penance for me, penance for the transgressions of youth, for the inexcusable insensitivity and selfishness that comes with adolescence. Since I am not a Catholic, I can’t do the three million or so Hail Mary’s it would take to achieve absolution for my early sins, so the words that follow will have to suffice.
I feel I must warn the reader that what you are about to read contains sexually graphic scenes, and that I hold little or nothing back in my descriptions. My intent, however, was not to write a sex novel, but to create in the reader an understanding of the need for honesty and caring and empathy in any intimate encounter, especially those that might be a first experience for one or the other partner.
Finally, though the disclaimer appears earlier, I should reiterate that this is a work of fiction and that none of the characters are real. It is informed, of course, by real experiences (as best my memory can reproduce them), however, if you recognize yourself or someone you know, it is only because at least some of these experiences may be universal and you or your acquaintance may at some time in your lives have experienced similar things.
