Unforgiving: the Memoir of an Asperger Teen Margaret Jean Adam

1963: Margaret Jean?s sixteenth summer. Her entire focus is on getting to a film audition. So different from the summer she was twelve when her one focus was avoiding a sexual predator; a ?friend? of the family who moved freely in and out of her home, who often sat across the dinner table. She?s older now, and all of that is behind her. Or is it? In Unforgiving, Margaret Adam weaves the memoir of an Asperger teen growing up in an era when the socially challenged condition is unheard of, sexual abuse is never mentioned, and a woman?s best career choice is marriage. A revealing exploration of the isolation of a girl on the brink of womanhood, Unforgiving exposes Margaret Jean?s fears, relives her blunders and celebrates her surprising achievements. How she responds to these events will change her life forever.
