In the 1960s, at age 16, Tommy and Barbara join their hearts in an eternal love while they learn the nuances of intimacy together through honest and candid experimentation. When Barbara disappears after they finally, "go all the way," Tommy spends years in a futile attempt to find her and to understand why.

Tommy, a budding Rock 'n’ Roll singer, soon encounters the, "stage door draw,” where performers become sexual targets for female admirers. Yet, Barbara is the only one he can never forget. When Tommy and Barbara cross paths again eight years later, by then each married to others, both feel, "honor bound" to keep the other at arm's length, even though their intensity of feeling is undiminished by time. If possible, it has grown even stronger.

Often explicitly sexual, the story centers on a deep emotional attachment that begins in adolescence, with the struggle to understand the fears, needs and desires of the opposite sex, and develops into a love that lasts a lifetime.

BARBARA is an exciting, often erotic story that instantly connects with all who came of age in those tumultuous 1960's and 70s—it resonates as well with all those who ever loved.
