Saddle shoes, ducktails, rock and roll, smoke-filled movie
theaters, fins, and chrome. With soul-searching candor, author
Sandra S. French remembers coming of age in the 1950s. In this
memoir, she recalls growing up in a middle-class suburb of Buffalo,
lovingly obeying her proud, bigoted parents and surviving personal
crises with her sense of humor intact.
Sandy fell in love with love in the 1950s, hoping to find Mr.
Wonderful-until her unrequited worship of a handsome athlete drove
her to the brink of suicide. At school, she earned a reputation for
being a pretty tease, a sexual prude, and a brain. Her goal was to
become the first female in her family to attend college. But in her
senior year, Peter French, an unappealing, troublesome, and
brilliant juvenile delinquent challenged her outlook. She hated
what he was, and he abhorred everything she stood for. Naturally,
love soon erupted, threatening everything Sandy held dear.
A light-hearted, warm, true account of Sandra's early
relationship with an unsentimental yet sensitive teenage genius, "
Ain't That a Shame" communicates the impact of lies and family
secrets on young love.
