Die Munzen Der Ostgothen (1844)

Why does God let bad things happen to good people? A masked man viciously raped Virginia Taylor as she walked home alone from her 21st birthday party. She was devastated. Why would God allow this to happen? The police officer, Michael Valentine, wanted to interview her boyfriend, Roger Lancaster, but he disappeared. In spite of rumors, Virginia couldn’t believe Roger would do such a thing. Her minister friend tries to console her, but, in spite of what he says, she has nightmares and is afraid of men. Then a man comes out of nowhere who wants to help her. Why does he stand by her no matter what happens? The minister says some good will come out of all this, that there is a Bible verse that promises it. But first Virginia must forgive the person who did this to her, and she must forget. Maybe, in time and with God’s help, she could be able to forgive, but how can she ever forget?
