says publishers weekly magazine..grabbed it off the shelf at the library..glanced at part of the story ..quoted..its about a teacher-student relationship...graphic.., apparently this is a harlequin book..by "debut author" rebecca coleman. ..but inside the mag I didn't see a review other than the front cover attachment with the page quote ..and a few quotes from those who reviewed it ....and the book isn't comint out until October 2011 ? yet she's doing "signingsk on May 24-25 ? ..something must be wrong here..must be a type..re October 2011 ..anyways, the subject of teacher-student (adult-child) relationships keeps popping up in the news...more adult women involved with male students by the way, which is what ths story is about (Zach & Judy)...As a Christian I always try to put a spiritual perspective on the topic..and this one requires more length & time than I have, but simply...one problem in American society is that we have increased the length of "adolescence" beyond the teen years..(I.e. society treats people as "youngsters" much longer now than ever before..meaning our "godly manhood" sometimes gets violated...& in some cases even those who are actual adolescents as well..but that's not to justify these relationships, simply an explanation..and a reminder than it many countries, as well as in Biblical times, people married younger, and grew up much faster..in some cases ..society is prolonging youth for self-serving reasons ..that is, an older generation is stifling youth's maturity process for self-serving reasons...nonetheless,,,I'm not sure what the angle coleman is putting on this story,..haven't read it..but if its a harlequin romance..it means its going to be steamy and sexually suggestive or graphic..so its not a documentary or resarch..I'm not sure what to think of it as such ??
