"It is ironic that we librarians debate the place of dangerous and extreme ideas in our corner of the world of communication, when we are so sorely needed as champions of access. This is a time in which the Meese Pornography Commission recommendations are being turned into repressive laws, government secrecy is burgeoning while public access to information is dwindling, and media monopolies...continue to narrow the spectrum of what is deemed 'newsworthy'."--John Swan   "Unless we have a holistic view of intellectual freedom and other values, we are liable not only to charges of racism and other forms of discrimination, but our own professional rhetoric, our own Library Bill of Rights, can be turned against us."--Noel Peattie.

<p>A novel about a licentious librarian. "At thirty-six, widowed eight years, in a small town, forty miles from the largest city in a small state, Amy Rose, city-bred wife of a physician who loved small towns, found herself early in her library career, left widowed, in the limiting world of school librarianship. Years of writing to public and academic libraries, visits to ALA conferences, had brought her, at last, a job at a big researchlibrary in the Bya country. Now, at last, the game she had started would have to stop. . . .</p>
