April is a story about a child who's been left by her mother, only to run into the arms of a man who, though more than twice her age, eventually ends up falling in love with her. It's not the most comfortable subject, but it is precisely why I believe it would make a great read. 1
It examines the relationship from the Jim's point of view. Jim is the antagonist (assuming that April is the protagonist) of the story, and he is desperate to make April believe that everything he did - he did out of love. This situation can be best described as "Affectionate Pedophilia," and some actually believe it to be different, and possibly more acceptable, than "Sadistic Pedophilia." Is that necessarily the case? When asking this question, which matters more: the intent or the outcome?2
April's story will challenge those who read it to think out of the box and possibly see the "villains" through a different light. It will force them to look at a subject that is considered taboo and make them question if age really matters when it comes to love.

You have an interesting proposal here that captured our curiosity. While the idea is controversial in the least we would be open to reviewing what you have created.
Please return this letter and send as a separate attachment the two completed opening chapters and the ending chapter.
blah…blah…You may just get one of these…
