My mom only ever asked me to wait to read one book. We were on vacation (at family camp, which is a story for another time) and I had finished all the books I’d packed. I was rummaging around in our cabin, looking for something else to read, and I came across one of my mom’s mysteries. But when I asked her to borrow it, she said that there were a lot of crimes against children in it and she thought I should hold off for a few years. I’ve never been a particularly rebellious child, and even at the painful age of 13 or 14, this didn’t seem unreasonable. I put it back and went to find something else.

Sara,
This is one of my favorite things you have written. Of course, since your mom is my wonderful friend, that helps. But also because of your central question: is this what they are afraid of? It gets right to the heart of it. Thanks for finding the time to hold down a full time job AND to tackle these issues with such thoughtfulness!
