From the age of five, when she awakens to the burning facts of life, sex, and religion in a small southern Illinois town, little red-haired Tretona Getroek has a head-on collision with reality, from which reality has yet to recover. Tretona's feisty battles with preachers, psychiatrists, and college deans punctuate her spirited quest for identity-(and love)- in a journey that takes her from the lush cornfields of Illinois to the arid fields of academia, from the down-and-out neighborhoods of Chicago to Turkish coffee houses and the pubs of London in an unusual journey which merges the erotic with the philosophic. A sentimental education in the (updated) tradition of "Tom Jones", a lesbian "Adventures of Augie March".
