Foreword
In society, the difference between good and bad, right and wrong is so thin and arbitrary that frequently the decision as to who is good and who is bad is determined solely by opportunity. The individual who is never in a position to steal-or has no need to steal-never becomes a thief. An ugly woman may never be given the chance to commit adultery. A priest need never lie.
When a girl is too pretty, she may find herself the focus of unwanted male attention. The extreme example always, of course, is rape.
That the girl may find rape unendurably exciting and pleasurable does not condemn her for bad morals. Perhaps, more than anything else, it could be considered praise for her passionate nature. But such passion can easily lead the girl from one difficult situation to another which is even more emotionally explosive. She may, in the end, find herself only a pawn being shuttled from hand to hand, helpless to save herself and unsure where to turn for mercy.
This is a book about passion and sex and the inexorable forces of society working outside an individual's ken. It doesn't answer the question of whether or not the individual can control his or her destiny-that is left to the reader to interpret.
