Will the world be a better place if I put this book in the bin? I have only answered yes twice, one was a book where the protagonist, a girl under 16, asked her uncle to forgive her for seducing him. All she'd done was sit near him on a riverbank. This was the redemption scene of the book.

I ended up accidentally reading a Christian Fiction that was racist towards Native Americans. It wasn't just racist characters but the author's viewpoints. The world is a better place with one less copy. (I'm not for book banning but I couldn't send that back into the world.)

Sounds like the world is a better place for one less copy of that book too!

I read it in the 1980's, it was written in the 70's or 80's.

I put a weird, racist politic book in a fire once. It was so bad, inaccurate, and nauseated me.
