Inviolate
Author: Michael Link

Inviolate is about a young girl who is brutally raped but learns to accept that while her physical virginity was stolen from her, only she can choose when and to whom she will surrender her innocence spiritually. A novel about love and friendship, the story depicts the blind innocence of young girls unaware that potential danger from sex predato... more »rs can occur at any time, and it relates the love that binds a family together and supports them after a tragic event disrupts their lives. It describes the terror and humiliation of sexual assault and the long-lasting trauma victims suffer afterward, as well as the collateral damage that is inflicted on their loved ones. The story compares the conflicting character of two men?one a violent sex predator who is able to hide his deviate psyche from even those closest to him; the other a gentle and kind man who loves baseball and mentoring youth sports, but who will one day be suspected of being a pedophile?and it illustrates the contradictions inherent in human nature when circumstantial events suggest that a person who is respected and trusted may be capable of committing an evil act. Eighth grade student Connie Wojcik is walking home from a Halloween party when she is accosted by two men wearing Star Wars masks and forced into their car. High school senior Gene Gillian brutally rapes Connie before his partner belatedly intervenes and escorts her to safety. When Connie later identifies her attacker's voice, Gene's mother perjures herself to keep her son from going to prison and Connie is left to struggle with her psychological and emotional trauma while her family copes with the affect her assault has on their own lives. It is a therapist who was herself a victim of childhood sexual molestation who coaches Connie to accept that only her physical virginity was stolen and her virtue will remain with her until the day she chooses to share her body with a man she loves, and helps the young girl recover her confidence and self esteem. Alan Thornton was a senior in college when he befriended Tiffany Johnson, a twelve-year-old with a preternatural sexuality who at first shocked and then later enchanted him with her flirtatious nature and sometimes outrageous personal questions. Alan became the young girl's mentor and tried to guide her from following in the promiscuous footsteps of her divorced mother. However, it was an innocent incident that occurred during the time Alan and Tiffany knew each other that will later lead to Alan's broken engagement from the woman he loves, and continue to haunt him after that when he is suspected of molesting a young player on the girls' softball team he coaches. Based on real events, Inviolate is a reminder that a sex crime victim's (or their parent's) unwillingness to report an assault can facilitate future harm to others.
