<p>Precocious and shocking when first published in 1956, <em>Chocolates for Breakfast</em> is a candid coming-of-age story of a young girl’s sudden awakening to love and desire written by 18-year-old Pamela Moore.<br /> <br />Disaffected, sexually precocious 15-year-old Courtney Farrell splits her time between her parents’ homes in New York and Los Angeles.
