It is hard to conceive in this day and age, especially in our Western society, that individual human beings could be, and are now, being treated like mere chattels and worse.
Yet there are examples to be found all around us. Migrant workers labor for a pittance, and are beaten or thrown out of their jobs if they protest against their meager wages. Sharecroppers are forced to turn over as much as fifty per cent of their produce to large landowners to pay off an ever-increasing debt whose termination they will never live to see. Illegal aliens must work for cruelly low wages or face exposure and deportation.
And then there is Linda MacDonald, an intelligent, sensitive young French teacher who never would have dreamed that a simple high school disciplinary problem would lead her into a nightmare world of r#pe and degradation and violence.
TIED UP TEACHER—the story of a woman who finds out what it is like to be treated like an object rather than a person. A reminder that our society is still a long way from Utopia.
Linda MacDonald missed the passion of her marriage, but little else. Her husband, Rod, had filled her body with pleasures she could almost taste, but she had had to pay with his lies, dishonesty and deception.
The final blow had come when she’d caught him in bed with two girls young enough to be his daughters. Blinded by rage and humiliation, she had somehow found the courage to end the marriage.
Mark Witherspoon, who lay beside her now, was nothing like Rod. Where Rod was handsome and athletic, Mark was plain and studious. He taught history at the same high school where she taught French. For Mark, sex was a necessity—like going to the bathroom or shaving—devoid of any real pleasure.
Still, she was comfortable for the first time in her life. At thirty-two, security and comfort seemed a lot more important than a frenzied roll in the hay.
