started  the read the book to see if it was appropriate for our HS students.

Some spoiler space though I am not sure I reveal that much. :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I just finished the book Stained and while it deals with a very sensitive  
subject the fact of the matter is child abuse in the church has been all over  
the nose.  I do believe that the topic itself was dealt with tactfully, and  
there were no descriptions of the abuse but the reader got an understand of what 
 happed and what the consequences were. Just my humble opinion.
