Foreword

The onset of puberty inevitably brings with it the dawning awareness of sexuality, of a child's inherent masculinity or femininity, and the struggle to put that sexuality into proper perspective with internalized standards and parentally proscribed teachings.

For some, the transition occurs with relative ease. For others, the change is marked by tension and anxiety, and a growing awareness that their world is not shaping up as expected.

For Beverly Parham, the initiation into the world of sexuality brings with it a swirling confusion of conflicting emotions. Hounded by the strict moral teachings of her mother, Beverly has difficulty, at first, admitting even to herself that she has sexual desires. It is only after the young high-schooler and her sister are forced to participate in sexual acts of every description that she comes face to face with her own nature and accepts her basic sexuality. But by then, the pendulum has already swung too far. She has become a girl whose only goal is pleasure.

GANG-RAPED SISTERS is a shocking story, but it is a story of our confusing times, one which asks many serious questions.
