As you can imagine, mistakes are made, punishments doled out, and humorous situations abound. The author, an older woman, delivers a great story that develops over time, just as it does in real life. She also wrote CJ & Me and Hannah's Way.
Carla had resolved to marry as a virgin, like her Mum, who taught her to deflect suitors' ardour with HJs or BJs. Carla had one boyfriend, a neighbour but never a life long contender. From afar Carla loved Bryan, who never asked her to date, but time was running out, Bryan's last Eve before a Short Service Commission and Military College, so Carla asked him out. Who would've guessed they were both Master and Mistress of the oral arts, that each lost control and contact. Fast forward 4 years....

Tom Olson, 11 years old at the time, fights off four men who have just murdered his father. Naturally, he calls out the man who ordered the murder. He takes care of that man and his two body guards, but has to run for Mexico to escape a Federal warrant for his arrest. Tom Olson is just an "innocent" boy who winds up being a terror to the bad guys. The dialog has dialect, but not the rest of the story.
A Story in the Ni'ng Wu Universe
Rory and Ling celebrate Valentines Day. It's questionable how much a Ni'ng Wu can understand such a custom, but there is love, some love making and moments of discovery for two people who care very much for each other. A little humour and a different take on Valentines day. The story stands on its own, but knowing something of the Ni'ng Wu would help.
