Going All the Way — Susan Hufford

THEY WERE SIX GIRLS IN THE CLASS OF '63 -- AND NONE OF THEM EVER DREAMED OF REALITY

They were the chosen girls of their college class, the brightest and most beautiful, and this is what happened to them since their graduation in the '60s, those days of furtive sex and nervous searching for Mr. Right... Claire, the actress, who traded her hopes of glory for the truth about herself... Sarah, the artist, chained in suburbia, drifting from one sordid affair to another... Vanessa, the beauty, who had everything--plus pills, alcohol, and despair...Julie, the southern belle, living with her black lover and their child...Ann, the nice girl, buried under mounds of fat, paying heavily for trapping her husband with pregnancy... Donna, rigid and frigid, a prisoner of her narrow, restrictive religious background.

This is their story, as they traveled through love and sex, marriage and divorce, motherhood and making it... through so many different kinds of trips and so many different kinds of men... through breaking down and growing up....

GOING ALL THE WAY
A novel of what happened to an entire generation of women--for better and for worse.
