"Snowy touches some chord in me. She's as real as anyone I've every known. "—Jennifer, a fan from Massachusetts
In 1998, on the 25th anniversary of the publication of this national best-seller, The Cheerleader was rereleased as a trade paperback. This rereleased version is now in its fourth printing.
Searchingly honest, achingly real, The Cheerleader recalls all the joy, excitement, and pain of crossing the bridge from childhood to young womanhood in the Fabulous Fifties, when sex was still a mystery and goals were clearly defined--perhaps for the last time.
The second, third and fourth printings of this rereleased version include a foreword by Ann V. Norton of St. Anselm College.
