内容简介：
Suppose that at sixteen you are suspected by everyone in your small town of being a Peeping Tom, merely because you've carried your quest to examine the female anatomy a bit too far? Suppose further that your uncle, a sophisticated drunkard who has raised you in Old South tradition, would be venomously offended should he learn you've endangered the family name? To make matters worse, you've found that your "true love" may not be the virgin your noble upbringing demands, and that your efforts to end your own virginity have led an angry husband to eye you with murderous intent. Do you commit suicide? Leave town forever? Or just stay and face the music? These are the alternatives facing young Jack Smith of Smith Station, Mississippi. Forced to reexamine the values with which he has been instilled, Jack and his lifelong pal, 3-legged Willie, must decide whether to accept the consequences or take the coward's way out.
