No sexual assault is placed upon any of the children in the book. It remains evident in two of the adult character’s pasts since one groomed the other and that groomer had an incestuous relationship with her biological mother. The groomer also has ideas of grooming one of the children but it never happens and the child she intends to groom never even knows about the idea. There is a graphic description of horrific sex, but the past grooming is mentioned is minor detail throughout the book when in the groomed individual’s persepective.
