I am abot to publish a fiction book in which a bogus pastor abused the niece of a vindictive aunt. I ave written out the girls sessios in the story and what the pastor does to her through the use of games etc. He works with shy girls in helping them to gain social skills. He calls them reticent but in truth is loooking for the profile of vulnerable girls. In my story e gains access to Celeste when she is fifteen. I would be so graeful to have someone familiar with pastor abuse ead this part of the book to make certain that I ahve been realistic. I do not go into intense abuse but on independance day he corners her ina garge and pulls the top down on her bathing suit through te use of a blindfold. The story is in the mid 30’s. She is blamed for what happens. Please excuse errors.. I can’t correct them. I am a former mental health therapist now with MS I live in Nebr. Book goes in next week Thankyout
