Features: Eighteen-year-old American girl Joyce published an article in The New York Times, which caused a huge response and received a letter from the famous writer J.D. Salinger. The two fell in love, but soon after, the fifty-three-year-old Salinger mercilessly drove Joyce away. After Joyce's pain subsided, she rebuilt her family, had children, and became a magazine contributor. Decades later, she looked back and wrote this book about a period of experience that affected her life.
