Title: Open Honest Look at Exploited Youth
Review: After listening to Ms. Maynard recount her life as a young impressionable and somewhat naive teen, her first encounter with J.D. Salinger, and later relationship with the demented and bizarre recluse, and the unfolding of her life after the great writer of Catcher in the Rye so coldly abandoned her without explanation or cause, I felt moved beyond words. I have seen and heard reviews mixed as to whether she should expose J.D. as she has done here (so clearly). Many say he deserves his privacy. I say, Joyce Maynard deserves her freedom to tell the story that affected every aspect of her life for nearly twenty-five years. This book which is read by Joyce Maynard, had me reflecting on my own life, first marriage and relationships. I say "Bravo" Joyce for finally facing the demons, and looking them straight in the eye! I want to hear from you again in twenty five years from now to hear how it all turns out for you!
