   As with any short story collection, some stories were engaging to me - others not so much. Very much 'student writing'. A couple stories eventually evolved into novels by this author. I have read eome of her later books - specifically the Bad Girl Creek series and, for the most part, enjoyed them - which is why I picked up this slim volume at a used book sale. Fans if the author might enjoy reading her early writing and how it evolved. Some explicit language and situations.

   Most short-story collections have a mixture of high and lower quality offerings. All the stories in this book are winners. In different ways, they expose the demons we all deal with throughout our lives. Some of them also contain the seeds of characters who populate my favorite Mapson novels.

   Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors, but this book is not a favorite. The main problem is that short stories are not my favorite genre. The stories just did not seem to tell a complete story.
