If Loving You Is Wrong

Description

Teacher's Pet Within hours of giving birth to her sixth child, Mary Kay Letourneau had her baby daughter whisked from her arms. She was then shackled and returned to her jail cell. Just a few years ago, the pretty, personable Seattle schoolteacher was living a life many would envy—she had a handsome husband, four beautiful children, and a beloved following of students. Then she was accused of child rape, and her whole world turned upside down. Rapist Or Victim? How did a 34-year-old married teacher fall in love with one of her sixth-grade students? Was it a complete lapse of judgment, or—as she contends—the meeting of two soulmates? Were the two planning to run away together—before police caught them in a parked car? Did the couple have illicit sex in every room of the Letourneau house, as the teenager told the tabloids? Read about the case that shocked the world and rocked the headlines—about the lonely life of Mary Kay Letourneau and the young object of her obsession, the boy who fathered two of her children. You may think you know the story of Mary Kay Letourneau—but you don't know the whole story until you've read If Loving You Is Wrong , by veteran true crime writer Gregg Olsen. Includes interviews with Mary Kay Letourneau.
