Thank you, Jeanne, for posting about the breastfeeding scene in the
movie "A Simple Plan." I just finished reading the book by Scott Smith
and was appalled to find this statement from the character of the
husband/father:

"I was still embarrassed by the sight of Sarah nursing Amanda. It gave
me a creepy feeling, the thought of the baby sucking fluid out of her.
It seemed unnatural, horrid; it made me think of leeches." (p. 164)

Thank goodness the movie didn't include that line!
