    @calidris Yeah, I totally agree that Christians should be people who talk about hard topics with grace and truth, in art and in the church, etc. My audience is intended to be adults and mature young adults. Ambrose starts as a teen, but a late teen like 18/19 or so, and by the time we make it to enslavement he is likely going to be a year or two older: 19/20/21. It is quite the process that goes on for them to world jump if you will. That said, I myself have certain sensitivities around sexual content, so I am really going to be cognisant of that and intend to tread carefully. I would definitely focus more on the responses to the abuse rather than the act of abuse itself. I will consider a preface… that is a good idea. And I would love it if you tagged those other writers. I can’t do what they do, but they likely have a great understanding of where to draw lines and personal conviction limits etc. Would you have any thoughts on what could replace this plot point, if I find I need to do so, that still carries some weight to it? As stated before, I am struggling to come up with an alternative if it proves that that is what I need to do.
