A Widows Story Electives is the second story in the Widows series. Timewise, it overlaps 'Picking up the pieces' by a year, and some of the same characters appear in both stories.
The story is about a girl and her friends and how they deal with the new laws about punishing students. It involves girls and boys being stripped naked for the duration of their punishment.
