Ms. Klein is best known for young-adult works that dealt with family problems, childhood and adolescent sexuality, as well as social issues like racism, sexism and contraception. Her first novel, Mom, the Wolf Man and Me (1972), is about the daughter of an unmarried, sexually active woman.

From the back cover:
Having a mother who never married might be awkward and inconvenient for other people - but never for Brett.  In fact, Brett preferred her mom single.  She;d change and be like all other mothers if she had a husband.  Then there'd be three meals on time, a strict bedtime, and probably they;d both have to wear skirts instead of jeans.  Life with Mom seemed just right - until the Wolf Man came along.
