When all you know is what you were taught by parents and friends that are ignorant to the world, you grow up to be a man like Riley Pranger, a passive racist and chauvinistic. But Riley is going to get a fast re-education when a single black mother rents his home for the summer and he has no choice but to recognize the actions of the people around him. 

Stella Burton is a no nonsense, 6-foot tall curvaceous black woman who has no problem with hurting a man’s ego. She is opinionated, specifically about a country where she has been single handedly raising her multi-racial son to be a well-rounded black man. 

What happens when white privilege is suddenly challenged? When races clash and you mess with the wrong black woman? This novella contains twists and turns and sexiness as well as appearances from Lt. Christopher Jameson, Ashleigh and their children from the novel Beast, Bodie and Shaundea Matthews from A Wrong Turn Towards Love and True from True’s love. 

Warning: This story includes sexual situations, graphic and strong racist and homophobic language. This story discusses American politics and race relations in a fictional setting.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

"Yeah." She nodded in gratitude. Garden fresh vegetables free of charge? What fool would turn that down?


They made plans to meet in the back yard at five thirty to get the grill started. She had to practically drag her son from the television set. He didn‘t even watch sports but he was standing in front of it just because there wasn‘t a flat screen television in the cottage. 


"Come on Adam. Let‘s go." She said while waiting at the front door for him to follow. 


Riley followed them to the door. "See you at five thirty," he called in his lazy country drawl. 


Stella looked behind her and grinned and then she stopped. Why was she grinning like a fool? 


For the first time in a long while, Riley didn‘t make plans to spend Saturday evening at Stubby‘s drinking with his cousin. He got showered and then took a few moments to appraise his newly trimmed beard in the mirror, happy that he‘d gotten rid of all the shag.
