Struggling with the challenges of single life and still in love with her ex-husband, David, Emily attracts the attention of local radio personality Warren, and also Cliff, the head of the high-school English department, who might perhaps take David’s place in her life. In 1969, 30-year-old Emily Bean moves to a town in New Hampshire’s coastal region to take a job as a high-school teacher.
My favorite: Jennifer, now in her thirties, recalled how in her girlhood she managed with great determination to find her mother's copy of The Cheerleader hidden under the mattress of a king-size bed, "way in the middle!" Recently Jennifer packed The Cheerleader in her suitcase ready for the trip to the hospital to have her own child "Mom is hoping to be there for the birth, so I think it will be quite hilarious to come full circle-reading aloud the book she banned as I'm giving birth to her grandchild!" As soon as Jennifer came home with her baby daughter, she took part in a "group read" of The Cheerleader on the Internet.Īll these devoted fans and all those who have asked for the chance to read The Cheerleader for the first time have now got their wish.Capturing in rich detail the freewheeling '60s, One Minus One explores a young woman’s journey toward self-realization following a painful divorce.
The mail that has continued to stream in ever since The Cheerleader was first published includes many amazing tales.
Everybody has asked: When will The Cheerleader be in print again? I've received pathetic descriptions of copies that disintegrated after years of being read over and over. I've received letters from The Cheerleader fans wailing that their copies were borrowed by friends and never returned. Once I received a desperate phone call from a woman whose beloved copy of The Cheerleader had been sold by mistake in a yard sale.
