"An Evening With JonBene t Ramsey" begins with a full-length play, "Cowboy's Sweetheart," which imagines the life of a sexually abused and murdered child as it might have evolved had she lived. The play is followed by two essays which consider the JonBene t Ramsey case from a number of perspectives. The result is an incisive critique of the media and a compelling study of the psychological consequences of what is a national epidemic: the sexual abuse of children.Email: davis.65@osu.edu.
