As a parent of a minor we would be foolish not to monitor our child's recreational choices. I imagine for some families this includes censoring your child's reading material, but again, parenting philosophies vary and you must do what is right for you and your child. Regarding the following statement, however: <i>"Rachel Ward may or may not be a pedophile [,...]"</i> Not only is it absolutely ridiculous to propose that a person who writes about minors having sex is a potential pedophile, but a statement like that can very well be interpreted as slander which is punishable by law. Even anonymous comments are attached to an IP address that can be traced, so it might be wise to think twice about making statements like that in a public and permanent forum in the future. I can't help but wonder in light of your outrageous conjecture about Ms. Ward, that you might also believe that authors who write murder mysteries or thrillers that include murder--(popular authors Agatha Christie or Stephen King come to mind)-- may or may not be murderers? Dear Parent,

I can’t help but wonder in light of your outrageous conjecture about Ms. Ward, that you might also believe that authors who write murder mysteries or thrillers that include murder–(popular authors Agatha Christie or Stephen King come to mind)– may or may not be murderers?

Among other things, it includes an explicit sex scene involving a pair of underage teens. If this were a movie, it would definitely get an R rating if and only if the sex scene were removed. With that scene left in, someone would be serving jail time since such depictions are illegal in cinema. Rachel Ward may or may not be a pedophile, but her work is garbage.
