This book proved to be Bannon's most controversial and unpopular of the series,[1] blurring lines between heroes and villains, especially on the tail of the triumphant and groundbreaking end of I Am a Woman.

The content also focused on then-whispered of topics such as interracial relationships, domestic violence, and self-loathing in matters of race and sexuality.

Lesbian pulp fiction books usually showed suggestive art with obscure titles that hinted at what the subject matter was inside.

Laura Landon has been living with her lover, a tough and strikingly handsome butch named Beebo Brinker, for two years.

Their relationship has deteriorated and both are frustrated, even after a party for their anniversary where Beebo remarks that hardly any couples make it together for as long as they have.

Their mutual friend, Jack Mann, watches as Beebo descends into alcoholism and Laura becomes interested in another woman.

Jack, disheartened once more after Terry, his boyfriend, has left him, begins to try to convince Laura to marry him, to which she responds in consternation since both are gay.
