A book I loathed: Bastard Out of Carolina horrified me, and even more so after colleagues met Dorothy Alison and she stated she harbored no ill will against her mother for being raped as a toddler by her mother's sicko pedo boyfriend who also passed on syphilis and permanent facial paralysis to Alison. I get that she likely had her whole life to make peace with that garbage, but what is it if not a warning? Rape often happens via acquaintances. Home is supposed to be a safe harbor. Her mother failed her on multiple counts and walked out on her. Disgusting.
