Laffont got so fed up with her orneriness that it put the English publication date on hold. Since then, her editor has left Laffont. Huff no longer represents her. The book has fallen into limbo. But there's another reason that the book is missing in action, one that must scare Letourneau.
Every love affair is, of course, two stories masquerading as one history.
Up through the trials, Letourneau and Fualaau maintained that they were in love and that there were no victims. Meanwhile, Letourneau's sections are sweet, often pleading. But we're no longer in the Middle Ages, when they burned women, the unfaithful, the witches, who dared to love outside their marriage. She also swoons over their two kids, who are currently cared for by Soona. The disjunction of their voices makes the possibility of a continuing relationship seem all the more doubtful.
