Set in Northern California in 2014, this is the story of a very pretty, and well-guarded high school girl; but when she turns 18, her father takes off all former restrictions, and tells her that she may consider herself as an adult, with free reign over her decisions and actions; figuring that since 18-year-olds can now vote, and some also go off to fight for their country and risk death, that this age rightfully marks the end of his parental control over her; and of course, it does legally anyway, technically-speaking.However, Nora has been raised well, and she isn't inclined to do anything unsavory; well, at least not right away. She applies to go to college, but falls in love, which changes her plans. Of course, being really pretty renders her special privileges and other unusual benefits, and the story takes us through exciting related developments, including how she deals with her increasing exposure to other potential lovers.Intertwined into this story, is the adventures of her cousin, who is from the East Coast; who wants to go out to California to become an actor. He doesn't know anyone else in California besides Nora's family, so he lands there first; but he has an eventful journey on the way.The story follows the interpersonal adventures of Nora, her first boyfriend, and her cousin Steven; and although there is nothing graphic, it offers good perspective on romantic and sexual relationships, and it is a study on philosophy in that regard. Far beyond this, it is a fun, sexy, and exciting dramatic story of how complications can develop when lovers become multiply-entwined!

A candid portrayal of what can come about when a young man, who has struck out at love repeatedly, and becomes desperate in his search for a relationship with a particularly attractive lover, now pursues it in less acceptable ways. It is a story of how powerful the combination is, of a beautiful girl, who is also willing to spend her time and attentions with you; and how a young man can become so captivated, yet also so frustrated, as she is forbidden fruit, in the situation; yet she has quickly become the object of his affections. It is a story written by a desperately-in-love young man, who had enough courage to unabashedly lay out just how infatuated a guy can become with a young teenage girl who has developed early, in terms of her womanly attractiveness. The story shows how he negotiated seemingly-impossible barriers to overcome, in an unusual situation; and how it was, that he could hardly help himself from developing a growing obsession toward wanting a relationship with her, after living with her family for several months, and having grown close with her in many ways. This is not a story covered up by false bravado; it is a unique and intimate look at what makes taboo tick!In addition, it is an account of an unusual brand of parental dysfunction, and Mike's struggle to countermand the effect of strong parental prejudices which would contaminate any possible objectivity, in the course of their attempted guidance of their teenage kids. It is also a window into the soul of a very unique, extremely bright and clever man, who is Bonnie's father in the story; although he apparently struggles with scars left over from his own upbringing, and from his own obsession with bar-room drinking escapades.
