When I saw the name Joyce Maynard, my mind immediately flashed back to her first book (published in 1973!) Looking Back: A Chronicle of Growing Up Old in the Sixties, and its iconic cover of her sitting barefoot on a rock with one leg pulled up. I remember knowing at that time about the connection between her and Salinger, but didn't know that she'd later written a memoir detailing that relationship, and to be honest didn't know until now that she had continued to write at all, let alone written many novels! So "Have I read any of her other work?" No, but I'll be looking for her now. Thanks for the tip and the trip down memory lane 😉 https://www.amazon.com/Looking-Back-Chronicle-Growing-Sixties/dp/0595269389
