Outcasts

David Johnson was the picture of the British Bohemian, the social outcast; an aimless and lawless person. Driving around London on his motorcycle looking for trouble was his idea of getting kicks. Then he met Julie. Julie Williams, the daughter of the man who was hated by the Johnson family for what he did to David's father years ago. Was this family hate to be carried on by David? Could he be in love with Julie and hate her father also?

Here is the touching story of two young people desperately seeking to find a haven for the love they shared; a love that was nor permitted by their families and friends, yet which had to survive because in their crazy, mixed up lives it was the one thing that was true.

Dropout - Martin Yoseloff

"The haunting novel of a girl adrift...and a generation in torment..."a reading experience not to be missed." New York Times


LANCER BOOKS 73-770
NEW YORK, USA
FIRST PRINTING 1968
FIRST PUBLISHED IN HARDBACK BY E. P. DUTTON AS "THE GIRL IN THE SPIKE-HEELED SHOES' 1949

"ABSORBING"
-Miami Herald

"Tenderness, understanding and the poetry of simple lives are the keynotes of this novel."
- Oklahoma City Oklahomen

"Martin Yoseloff, with a delicate perceptiveness of the shades of virtue and evil, here takes the old pattern of a small town girl 'with no mother to guide her' falling into questionable associations, keeping poor company, hunting up temptations as if she had not been tempted enough. Nut Mr. Yoseloff alters the old pattern-decidedly for the good."
- Pasadena Star News

"This could be a dull and lustful tale, bur Mr. Yoseloff fills it with so much compassion, and writesnwith such skill, tht one cannot help being fascinated. It has many of the qualities of Stephen Crane's Maggie."
-American Mercury
