Helpful Score: 2


Joyce Maynard's candid account of her affair, at age 18, with J.D. Salinger, the reclusive, controlling, brilliant author of "Catcher in the Rye" and other great works of literature. Salinger was 53 at the time of the romance. Sometimes, truth is more compelling than fiction! Beautifully, honestly written. A story about romance and heartbreak, but also of growth and parenting.
