This book is about Mary Kay Letourneau, a married mother and school teacher, age 34, who began a love affair with one of her students, age 13. Mary Kay has asserted from the beginning that she is not a child molester, and this has never occurred before with one of her students or any other child. She claims this was a meeting of two soulmates. This wayward couple wound up having two daughters together, and eventually ended up getting married. I believe that have since gotten divorced, but they were together through all of this, even the jail term, for a long time. I cannot imagine what her four children from her previous marriage and her ex husband had to go through, not to mention all the families from all sides. It cannot be easy to be in the media spotlight and the subject of conversation and controversy. I think people often overlook those involved outside of the immediate subjects. Greg Olsen is one of my favorite true crime writers. I enjoyed this book, and enjoyed learning about this case more in depth than what I had seen on tv.
