We Must, We Must, We

"summer Sisters" Is Probably My Least Autobiographical Book. The Whole Idea Started With Rowing Down The Pond. And I Heard An Explosion. I Don't Like Sudden Loud Noises. They Scare Me. And Then All These People Came Running Down The Hill And Jumped In The Water In Their Finery And A Bride And Groom Was With Them, And That's Where It All Started.

I Still Get Angry When Older People Assume That Everyone In My Generation, Screws Around. They're Probably The Same Ones Who Think All Kids Use Dope. It's True That We Are More Open Than Our Parents But That Just Means We Accept Sex And Talk About It. It Doesn't Mean We Are All Jumping Into Bed Together.

I Thought ["summer Sisters" ] Would Be A Children's Book - Two Girls Who Summer Together From Very Different Backgrounds. And Then When It Just Kept Going And Going And Going. They Kept Getting Older.
