Then a ring and a letter appear in her locker. Shelley knows she should tell someone, and tells no one. One snowy Saturday, a drive alone with him through the woods turns off the road, and she comes home to a warm kitchen and tells her host mother only that the roads were icy.\n \nShelley and her editor talk about why she wrote him so likable, how grooming works on loneliness and a mature mind, and how a young girl can sense that something is wrong and still go along. Shelley explains why she believed that telling would have sent her home in disgrace while he carried on as before.\n \nTune in to hear why Shelley says this chapter is not only about her.\n \nContent Warning:\nThis episode discusses grooming, the abuse of a student by a teacher, and other sensitive topics that some listeners may find distressing.
