Near identical to the trade first edition with the same rust/tan cloth-bound boards; no price on dust jacket.

Mid-sized hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.

Dust jacket is visibly shelf worn; lots of visible rub marks and streaks.  Otherwise, clean and in tact; now housed in a new archival jacket protector.

Book itself is excellent.  Clean cloth-bound boards.   Reads as new. 

ABOUT THE BOOK

Seventeen-year-old Conrad Jarrett returns to his parents' home and tries to build a new life for himself after spending eight months in a mental institution for attempted suicide.

The Jarrets are a typical American family. Calvin is a determined, successful provider and Beth an organized, efficient wife. They had two sons, Conrad and Buck, but now they have one. In this memorable, moving novel, Judith Guest takes the reader into their lives to share their misunderstandings, pain...and ultimate healing.
