I am looking for a story I read a few months ago.
Story starts with husband, wife and their son, who is 18 or so.
The son spends time at the neighbor's house but repeatedly is very tight-lipped about the neighbor family.
Some event happens. It might be that the neighbor girl came over to visit the son but was very scared, though can't remember just what the event was. So the husband to goes over to the neighbor's house and investigate. He may have asked his son and the neighbor girl to go with him.
When he gets there no one is there but something tells him to go down to the basement. What he finds there is sexual toys and devices and it quickly becomes apparent that the entire family was sexually abusing their daughter.
The husband calls the police and he brings the neighbor girl back to his house.
The authorities arrive and this starts months of media frenzy about the neighbors. Husband and his wife offer their home to the girl, which she accepts but she is very non-communicative for weeks.
This goes on for many months and the husband feels obligated to protect the neighbor girl. It puts a strain on his own family. His wife is unhappy and their son isn't either.
Eventually the wife divorces the husband because of his inability to attend to his own family. His son stops talking to him and the wife and son move out.
Guy continues to support the neighbor girl and she starts to open up and be more talkative. After many more months she starts going out and I believe becomes sexual with guys she meets.
She eventually moves out and away.
Months later, (maybe more than a year later) she returns and she and the guy begin a sexual relationship. Not totally sure if they become sexual after she returns or before she left but when she returns they begin (or renew) their sexual relationship.
In the end the neighbor girl/woman and the guy get married.
Anyone know the author and title?
