Raised in evangelical churches that preach apocalypse now,
Carlene Bauer grows up happy to oblige the God who presides over
her New Jersey girlhood. But in high school and in college, her
intellectual and spiritual horizons widen, though still she finds
it hard to let go of her ingrained ideals and to rebel as she knows
she should. She loves rock 'n' roll but politely declines offers of
sex and drugs, and hovers between a hunger for the world and a
suspicion of it. In her twenties, however, determined to make up
for lost time, Bauer undertakes a belated and often comic
coming-of-age in New York City--ultimately falling in love and
losing her religion, and left wondering just what it means to be
good.
Sharply written, hilarious, and touching, "Not That Kind of
Girl" is the story of one young woman's efforts to define
worldliness, ambition, and love on her own terms.
