Sins

Résumé du livre

From all outward appearances, suburbia maintains the strait-laced middle-class look that belies the social ferment behind closed doors. There is the secret use of drugs, fed by syndrome of experimentation. There is the river of alcohol flooding from door to door under the euphemism of social drinking. Then, of course, there is the advent of swinging and illicit sex. All in the spirit of good clean fun... But where does the fun stop and the degradation begin? When one excess leads to another -- and another -- to what? When the children set as a pattern for their own lifestyle what already is the norm at home? This is the story of a Mother, who's own desires overwhelm her sense of commonality and drives her toward her own Daughter, a Daughter who may be more receptive of those desires than Mommy thinks. It is startling as a mirror of a way of life behind closed doors. No facade. No regrets. Indeed, for them it is the norm. The norm... for this family is a dramatic representation of life which dares to let its most base desires and passions come to the fore. They are some of the few who are willing to accept the consequences-be they rewarded or punished-for allowing themselves to be completely liberated. Their story is a startling insight into the lives of people who dare to let it all hang out.
