Firth Haring Fabend

A Perfect Stranger

Dilemma of modern woman.

"Works because the people are real and their feelings genuine." Publishers Weekly. "A curiously good book, very well written and tender." "The characters are alive, the plot completely persuasive." Houston Chronicle. "Written with a sharp scalpel that comes perilously close to the nerve-ends of truth in our time."Chicago Tribune.
