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 chattels 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 fifty percent of their produce to large landowners to pay off an ever-increasing debt, the termination of which they will never live to see. Illegal aliens must work for cruelly low wages or face exposure and deportation.

And then there is Patty Williams, a sensitive young girl who never would have dreamed that a simple walk by the beach would lead her into a nightmare world of rape, degradation and violence.

TIED AND TORTURED VIRGIN-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.
