Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) answers “Anyone else bothered by Dean Priest?”

Rachel Harper asked this question about Emily of New Moon (Emily, #1):

Anyone else bothered by Dean Priest?

Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) Yes. And I speak as a person who married at 20 to a man who was 37. We're still married happily, 36 years later. But he is waaaay to possessive of her…moreYes. And I speak as a person who married at 20 to a man who was 37. We're still married happily, 36 years later. But he is waaaay to possessive of her from the git-go. All that stuff about how "I saved your life so now your life is mine" just raised my hackles. There were men like that in those days--still are; but that doesn't make it a good choice in a YA novel of that time, or this time, for that matter.(less)
