Immoral men capitalizing on the innocence of others to attain their goals - a story as old as man. The Bible, history books, law books - all contain examples. And when the innocent victim is young, the story is so much the sadder... The girl in this novel - Mindy LaFarge - is the victim of her unscrupulous, profligate father and the evil people whom he forces upon her. At a young age, Mindy finds herself caught in a web of depravity and perversion she never dreamed existed. And after being forced to suffer one humiliation and degradation after another, Mindy's once-loving nature begins gradually to harden, to turn her, ironically, into a creature who would use others as she herself once was used. Her story is a shocking one, the tale of a young, average American girl forced to grow up overnight, and the kind of adult she eventually becomes. A novel carrying a lesson for us all. An outcry against some of the sinister elements which exist in our society.
