Brit & Co - SheReads - Women.com A dazzling portrait of a young
woman coming into her own, the youthful allure of sex, drugs, and
rock and roll, and what we lose--and gain--when we leave home. ONCE
IN A LIFETIME, YOU CAN HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE The small town of
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is an unlikely location for a Playboy
Resort, and nineteen-year old Sherri Taylor is an unlikely bunny.
Growing up in neighboring East Troy, Sherri plays the organ at the
local church and has never felt comfortable in her own skin. But
when her parents die in quick succession, she leaves the only home
she's ever known for the chance to be part of a glamorous slice of
history. In the winter of 1981, in a costume two sizes too small,
her toes pinched by stilettos, Sherri joins the daughters of dairy
farmers and factory workers for the defining experience of her
life. Living in the "bunny hutch"--Playboy's version of a college
dorm--Sherri gets her education in the joys of sisterhood, the
thrill of financial independence, the magic of first love, and the
heady effects of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But as spring gives
way to summer, Sherri finds herself caught in a romantic
triangle--and the tragedy that ensues will haunt her for the next
forty years. From the Midwestern prairie to the California desert,
from Wisconsin lakes to the Pacific Ocean, this is a story of what
happens when small town life is sprinkled with stardust, and what
we lose--and gain--when we leave home. With a heroine to root for
and a narrative to get lost in, Christina Clancy's Shoulder Season
is a sexy, evocative tale, drenched in longing and desire, that
captures a fleeting moment in American history with nostalgia and
heart.
