"'Liza,' Mom said, looking into my eyes, 'I want you to tell me the truth, not because I want to pry, but because I have to know. This could get very unpleasant . . . Now--have you and Annie--done any more than the usual experimenting . . . ' 'No, Mom,' I said, trying to look back at her calmly. I'm not proud of it, I make no excuses--I lied to her." 274128 1982 Annie on My Mind total:1104|5:22|4:19|3:14|2:5|1:3| 1104 4227 1622 191 3 3 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 14:58:56 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 15:03:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon May 28 21:46:21 -0700 2007 Mon May 28 21:54:21 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 10:56:36 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 13:01:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Jan 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 10:47:59 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 06:11:20 -0800 2009

I know this book was ground breaking in its day, but it is slightly out-dated now.
