You told me to leave you alone. BUT here is a quote from the book. I can't find the age thing I was looking for. Really don't have all day to work with this. But I do think that this is sick enough.
Forget about Lena being a star and think about Grace as a child and try to have some empathy for her. Just because she isn't a celeb doesn't mean she isn't entitled to empathy.
I left out the Lena touching stuff.....
As she grew, I took to bribing her for her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a ‘motorcycle chick.’ Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just ‘relax on me.’
Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying...
What I really wanted, beyond affection, was to feel that she needed me, that she was helpless without her big sister leading her through the world. I took a perverse pleasure in delivering bad news to her—the death of our grandfather, a fire across the street—hoping that her fear would drive her into my arms, would make her trust me.
