Amid the crises of the summer of 1968, two teenagers become lovers. Emily is a good Catholic girl, for whom an incarnate God means joy and contentment in the life of the body. William is preoccupied, in a vague sort of way, with politics and the evils of the System. Together, impelled by physical passion and the idealistic notion that "all our life is some form of religion, and all our action some belief," they run away to create a new life in the wilderness. In their absence, their parents' predictable lives take an entirely different course, and America itself seems to lose its innocence, never to be quite the same again. Not since Alice McDermott's That Night or Scott Spencer's Endless Love has there been a novel that portrays with such immediacy and respect teenagers' first loveits intensity, finely calibrated moods, and worldly innocenceand the elusive nature of adult loveits passion and fragility, comforts and betrayals.Binding Type: Paperback

Size Up!
Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate, Size: 9-10 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Chocolate
These are very comfortable! My only issue is that I'm a size 9, so I ordered the womens 9-10 and they are *almost* too small. My heel really wants to come out the back. I know the description says to size up, so you really should lol. They are also narrow, as I have wide feet! I will still wear them, just not if I have to walk too much

No more stubbed toes!
This is a very comfortable slip on shower sandal. The bowl design that makes it protect your toes and feet works like a champ! No more stubed toes !! They wore great to prevent that. And they have great traction in smooth wet surfaces. Even with soap on them.
Comfortable fit..
I would buy this product again. Thanks

Size up
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Black
I had another pair of a different style from the same seller that shrunk when left in the sun. That one wasn't available anymore, so I bought this one in the same size, and they are too small. They are comfy shoes but not true to size

Perfect for after knee surgery
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Blush
I ordered these after having knee surgery and they’ve been a god send. I wear them around the house and they help so much with knee pain. They’re great quality and sized as expected.
