It's in chapter 33, if you want to preview it yourself.

 

I didn't think it was that bad. There was no gratuitous wording, and only enough was revealed to lead the reader to know what happened. The word "bre@st" and "thi9h" were used.

 

I think it's a great opportunity to show the teen reader how someone can become victim to such predatory actions and how someone can pervert the Gospel (or any other religious doctrine) in a way to support their own agenda, in this case sexual exploitation. I didn't think it was over-the-top in any way.

 

I think it was tastefully done, if such a topic can ever be so.

 

:iagree:

 

and the rest of the chapter with how Miss Alice decided to raise Margaret and the Quaker community response is beautiful.

 

I think at high school age, it shouldn't be a problem or too much blushing or anything.

Oh, and thank you too, Kinsa, for providing the location of the scene. Very helpful!
