From Publishers Weekly Payne's acclaimed novel tells of a troubled Southern family in North Carolina in the 1950s. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc. From Library Journal Payne here introduces us to characters we care about: Jimmy， the star high school athlete who dreams about becoming a writer; May， the lovely young daughter of a prosperous family whose mother keeps telling her to "remember who you are"; and Joey， now 12， their unplanned son， conceived in the passion of teenage love. With honesty and compassion， these three narrate from their own perspectives the story of a failing marriage. May's parents are supportive; Jimmy's father kind but bowed by his jealous， sharp-tongued shrike of a wife. Payne ( Early from the Dance ， LJ 9/1/89) beautifully portrays the 1950s beaches of North Carolina， and his description of this family， so full of love with all their faults， makes the reader ache for them. Highly recommended.- Marion Hanscom， SUNY-Binghamton Lib.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
