![]() They were able to share each of their stories differently, yet completely together. Jennifer and Ron were able to tell thier individual point of view of the story. That way we couldn’t veiw our opinions strictly to one or the other. This gave both, Jennifer and Cotton, a turn to tell their story. ![]() ![]() I enjoyed being able to see both how Jennifer whent through the rape and questioning and being able to see what actually happened with Cotton. Writing this book in this pattern gave each character a turn to show their side of the story. The next chapter was told in the view of Ronald Cotton, the suspect. How things looked on her point of view, exactly how things happened on the night of her rape. She first told the story, in the eyes on Jennifer. ![]() Jennifer Thompson wrote “Picking Cotton” in a different sort of way. ![]()

They’ll give me a chance to exact my vengeance, and in exchange, all they want is… Lucky for me, the last name on my list is someone they’ve got their own grudge against, so instead of killing me, they offer me a deal. But it turns out revenge is a messy business, and when I end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, I royally piss off four brutal, twisted, gorgeous men.

When his eyes, so blue they glowed even in the candlelight, burned into hers, she wondered if that intensity were due to emotions he didn’t know how to express through words. She was swimming in desire, every nerve expertly brought to a fever pitch of need, and yet still her mind whirred and analyzed. She’d been given too much to think about that day-nothing, not even the fiercest cravings of her body, could stop the frantic pace of her thoughts.
