This novel was written in 1980 and revised slightly for this edition. Thus it displays attitudes common for its time and for the period in which the story is set, some of which have changed markedly in the years since, e.g., those toward homosexuality. To alter these would make them anachronistic so they have been left intact, but they should not be taken as indicative of my stance today.

The resuscitation of the manuscript owes a great deal to a number of persons whose names will not be given for fear of omitting some and slighting persons to whom I am deeply grateful. It is hoped that they all know who they are and will feel acknowledged by this statement. The two exceptions I will make to this anonymity are my copyeditor Lorrie Cooper and my wife Jane, who has put up with me for fifty-six years and supported me in all my endeavors. I am afraid she is guilty of enabling.
