The plot is ...

It can happen, it is happening. We are all taught to love thy neighbor even When the neighbor wrongs you. Why should we? We grow up being slaves to "Societies" views and morals of what is right and wrong, mostly DECIDED by the various religions. Who is to say society is correct?
It is people did stand up and speak Their opinions, even in the light of being publically ridiculed, did make changes. They are sometimes called rebels, sinners, etc. But the future call them heroes.
Maybe you do not understand why this book is so excellent Because You have not yet lived or been encaged to live by the standards of others.
Those of you did do not care for her writiing must not have paid much attention to it. It was all very creative, the numbers, "we" (As You Are Not in your own person), I (how great it is to finally be yourself and let go of the inhibitions). Carefully Describing things in explicit detail. Explaining the Increasing desire and need to learn. The names the main character chose for them. And the final, explanation of what the Saint said.
This book was better than Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet", and I really like Gibran, so That is saying something.
There you have it For Those of you did apparently skimmed it out of utter laziness.
I will be reading more of her work in the future.
