List of Characters: This list is provided to give background on both old and new characters. Please let me know if you someone is missing. Since I do not make it a habit to provide measurements such as bra size or length of a guy's penis when describing characters, Physical Characteristics are sometimes coded 'PC' here when it will be helpful to visualize the person.

Characters carried over from past books and mentioned by name only are listed separately at the bottom of the page, coded 'MBNO'.

Adam Corning: Classmate of Sammy at C. M. A. Attending Harvard Law School — secretly engaged to Marcie.

Although she tries, there's not much she can do with her round face and dumpy figure. Don't be fooled by her pleasant personality; Marcie is not always 'up'. She has low periods, which she tries to hide from Sammy. She has two things going for her; she's rich and Sammy loves her. Her problem is that she not only loves Sammy; she's in love with him.
