[quote=Anonymous]I grew up reading V.C. Andrew’s books starting in the eighties. I am still a huge fan of hers (or her ghostwriter’s!) and still try to read each new release as it comes out. The characters in her books are usually young (teenagers) and am not sure if these books are in the “YA” category - but as an adult reader, I find them riveting. I let my daughter read her books growing up. Sure there is incest (at least in her earlier works) as well as rape too. But I am of the school of thought that what one reads at a young age can ruin a child. My daughter knew she was reading FICTION. And that what the characters were doing was immoral. Just as I did when I first read “Flowers in the Attic.” It’s not like incest became common after that book came out! I read “Wifey” by Judy Blume but it didn’t make me want to go out + have sex. By the time a person is old enough to read adult books > they usually are old enough to differentiate right from wrong.[/quote]
