Why read it?

I was fortunate to see Jelaine’s early drafts of her memoir, and I instantly recognized that she should tell her story to the world. How could you not be intrigued just by the title?

This is a unique view of being part of a naturist family, starting when she was a little girl in 1970s America. A brilliant description of the family’s first tentative steps captures how you imagine it might be.
