Publisher's Notes
First Line: "I was never a virgin. <BR> Okay: In the technical sense, of course I was. But even in my dewy days, I never gazed at the world wide-eyed with wonder. If I wasn't born shrewd, at least I grew up too smart to be naive. So how come in the prime of my life, at the height of my powers, I could not foresee what would happen in the Torkelson case? Was I too street smart? Had I been around the block so many times that I finally lost my sense of direction?"
Industry Reviews
"Susan Isaacs is a sophisticated storyteller, with a wry view of the world, whose books routinely wind up on the bestseller list....Though this is formula fiction, it is done well and done with a difference, since Isaacs can't resist satirizing the world we live in."
Washington Post Book World - Susan Dooley (07/07/1996)
'As a social satirist, you couldn't ask for sharper eyes that Isaacs'. All the minutiae of upper-class Long Island life and manners are here, from rolled-grass tennis courts to streaked-blonde page-boys, bermuda shorts and BMW's and the heroin habits of Ivy League dropouts."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Jennifer Weiner (07/28/1996)
"A one-volume vacation reader, "Lily White" combines the allure of a legal mystery, a romance and a dysfunctional family saga in a single portable volume."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Elaine Kendall (07/28/1996)
""Lily White", is a big, fat, happy feast of a book."
