Foreword
It is hard to conceive in this day and age, especially in our Western society, that individual human beings could be, and are now, being treated like mere chattel and worse.
Yet there are examples to be found all around us. Migrant workers labor for a pittance, and are beaten or thrown out of their jobs if they protest against their meager wages. Sharecroppers are forced to turn over as much as 50 per cent of their produce to large landowners to pay off an ever-increasing debt whose termination they will never live to see. Illegal aliens must work for cruelly low wages or face exposure and deportation.
And then there is Heather Burke, an intelligent, sensitive young girl who never would have dreamed that a simple high school disciplinary problem would lead her into a nightmare world of rape and degradation and violence.
ROPED AND RAPED SCHOOLGIRL-the story of a girl who finds out what it is like to be treated like an object rather than a person. A reminder that our society is still a long way from Utopia.
