A writer's blog post hosted by a prestigious publisher. I'm honored to have made the acquaintance of the writer;

http://us.penguingroup.com/static/html/blogs/night-i-lost-my-innocence-wendy-brenner

Purpose: obviously a promotional post, but in the entire triumvirate of marketing, advertising, and public relations, the blog column's got a lot more going on.

Method: story, personal essay, memoir, parable, message, theme, universal, timely, timeless, self-deprecating but noble tenor, boldly vulnerable, emotionally appealing, loss of innocence and coming of age and still coming of age in later life. Admirable.
