Summary

An early and daring novel from the Hugo Award-winning author about a young woman caught up in the glamor 
and dangers of 1950s California 
Mary Anne Reynolds is young, vulnerable, and looking for love in Pacific Park, California. During her brief affairs 
with a middle-aged record shop owner and then a black blues singer, she seems to only succeed in offending 
the people living in the small-town of Pacific Park, both by her choice of lifestyle and choice of suitors. And 
while she stumbles through her various relationships and faces her overwhelming need to get out of town, 
Mary Anne shines as a "forerunner of the liberated sixties woman" (Library Journal) in this novel by the late 
prolific novelist, Philip K. Dick.
