Is that Faulkner's Sanctuary? I've never actually read it, but I remember there being a character name Temple, who gets kidnapped and raped, so not really the best association."We have met the enemy and he is us" WaltKelly
No, it's "The Chaperone", by Laura Moriarty. It's about LouiseBrooks. The chaperone who takes her to New York mentions TempleBailey being one of her favorite authors.
