SOLVED. The Edge about a thirty-something woman trying to cope with her life; it was supposed to be in the same vein as "Memoirs of An Ex-Prom Queen" [s]

That's the title; just "The Edge". It was published at the turn of the 1970s. It was about a thirty-something woman trying to cope with her life; it was supposed to be in the same vein as "Memoirs of An Ex-Prom Queen". The title must have been implying that she was about to fall over the edge into the abyss.

But without an author's name, I don't have much hope of finding it. Seriously, try doing a search for that title, and you get "The Razor's Edge", The Edge of This, The Edge of That, but nothing simply called "The Edge". Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

The Edge by Shirley Mezvinsky? She also sometimes went by Shirley Lauro.

Worldcat is sometimes the best site for a search like this, since you can search on title alone.
