Well, I'm going to guess her big brother molested her when they were young or that her father had molested both her and her brother - these things are most often generational.
I was so glad to see Valerie defend herself to that pompous woman who was acting as if she had a right to criticize what she couldn't possibly know enough about. That was a great bit of dramatic dialogue. This is an action-packed, drama-filled chapter. And it is extremely well-written. Brooke

This is a good story. I wanted to know what Auntie Miriam had to say, however there was nothing else to read. When a child gets rape at seven years old.. is a horrible experience for a child to live with. To carry that guilt around all those years, and then find out everybody is blaming you for something you're innocent of. I saw one mistake-- The part where you say, by the time I got home my head was about to explode. I think that was what you were trying to say. Good piece of work . Good luck on your writing.

Thank you for your kind review. It is difficult to start a book in the middle but many of my chapters are individual storys and can stand alone.

You write well Smurphgirl. This is a poignant story and it seems only half the family know the secret or otherwise the other half are in denial. It is so sickening that one man can cause so much devastation in his own child and probably his sister's life.
