Rachel Reviews: The Greater Good by Frank Sapienza
One of the joys of reading is that you are often presented with situations that you can only hope to imagine. They could be fantastical but they could also be based on real life scenarios.

Like The Terminator or Sophie's Choice as two excellent examples.

Joy at the Fairgrounds
When I was about to recount this experience, I was a schoolboy at St. Paul's. As we would today describe them, my parents were "swingers," thus I was one of the few boarders.
