I know that this is super late but due to me being completely crazy when it comes to packing and getting ready to go on our softball trip everything else went out the window and then to complete this ridiculousness our hotel in Florida did not have wireless internet or any internet.
I feel that if this story would be written today many of the events would be the same. The idea of being seduced by an older man, falling in “love” and then getting pregnant and being left behind is what the Lifetime Movie network feeds off of.
I decided to write about the characters, plot, setting and description of the Charlotte Temple novel that I would write today. First of all the protagonist would be a man and his name would be Charlie Church, who is a naïve country boy from the mid-west who gets tempted by a seductress named Mandy Ville in New York City. At the club in New York City she drugs his drink and whisks him away to Paris. In Paris he is left in a hotel with no money, no identity and no sense of how he got there. Charlie Church wanders off into the French country side looking for Mandy Ville but he cannot find her. Luckily Charlie Church finds a nice country girl named Celine and she takes care of him and nurses him back to health.
I decided to change it up a bit and have a happy ending, not where one dies because of their sins. Maybe it is because I just spent a week in Florida and went to Disney that I am feeling this way.

I like that you had a boy play the role of Charlotte instead, it gives it another twist. I wish I would know more about the story because it sounds very interesting. I like that she takes him to another country and not just another state also, I like that she does not find anyone but he finds a lovely young lady to take care of him.
