This is the story of a young girl growing up in Austin, MN during the 1950s. It demonstrates how many bad, distasteful or just plain criminal activities were often hidden in order to “protect” victims when in fact such actions permanently damaged the victim. It still happens today, but back then it was the way it was. In this case, not only was the victim left damaged but this situation had far reaching fatal results. I went to school with author and graduated high school with her. 55 years later when I read her book was the first I ever heard of this. It is well written and shows a long healing process. An excellent book.
