There are multiple books written about other historical events (off the top of my head, I can think of at least 5 books about prisoners in Auschwitz) each with their own unique perspective.

I'd like to read this book, but I need to know a couple of things. Is there any over-the-top words or vulgar language? Is there explicit sex or lots of innuendos about sex? Thanks for answering my question!

Libby No vulgar language. There is reference to forced sex but it is not explicit. Highly recommend this book.

He had every reason to accept Jackson's proposal. It should have come as a relief to him for his daughter to have a suitor like him. A good man who got turned down five times? It beggars belief.(less)
