Return to Modesty "A culture which valued modesty surely has its
drawbacks, but now that we have experimented with the oposite, we who have had sex
education in kindergarten and were assigned poems about orgasms instead of Shakespeare in
school, we who have watched in horror as our perpetrators get younger and younger -- well,
we take a different view of things"
"We must decide as women to look upon sex out
of wedlock as not such a cool thing after all..." Wendy Shalit

 Jewel:
A Novel by Bret Lott
Based on a true story this novel has
wonderful pro-life themes. The year is 1943 and life is good for Jewel Hilburn, her
husband, Leston, and their five children. Her joy is slightly clouded, however, when she
bears a child. Although the baby appears normal in every way, as the months go by,
however, Jewel becomes increasingly afraid that something is wrong with little Brenda
Kay--she doesn't cry, she doesn't roll over, she's hardly ever awake. Eventually husband
and wife take the baby to the doctor and are informed that she is a "Mongolian
Idiot," not expected to live past the age of 2. Jewel angrily rebuffs the doctor's
suggestion that they institutionalize Brenda Kay. Instead the Hilburns shoulder the
burdens--and discover the unexpected joys--of living with a Down's syndrome child.
