The Crescent Arlene Johnston

Cover art courtesy of I. L. Jackson and Pine Lake Books. Growing up in the 60s wasn't much different than it is now. It's just a normal street in a normal city... Or is it? Nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors, and sometimes your life isn't what it seems to those looking in from the outside. The houses may be the same, but each family that resides inside is different, unique, with their own accomplishments and problems. Meet the families of The Crescent as seen through the eyes of the families and the neighbours living there. Johnston deals with taboo subjects such as incest, infidelity, and drug addiction without glamourizing them.
