i guess there’s no accounting for taste. But my father was hands-y and I hated it. Later, in support groups for survivors of child abuse, I met women who had been abused far worse, and empathized. We were not temptresses or nymphets. We were children, exploited for our innocence and trust. So I tossed the book. No need to dredge up old pain and further pollute my mind.
