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

"In truth…" he looked at Riley who also was waiting for him to continue. He swallowed. "In truth, I wish blacks would stop bringing up slavery. How is that even still relevant? Everybody that owned slaves is now dead. Look, I‘m as far from being a racist as I can get." He reached out and lightly squeezed his wife‘s hand. "I‘m part Cherokee, I‘m married to a black woman and I have two black children and another on the way. But it ain‘t right for blacks to be asking for reparations when they weren‘t even slaves." He looked at Riley for backup, but Riley thought it would be wise for him to say nothing.


Before Stella could speak Shaun did. "You don‘t know that slavery impacts us today? Right here on this mountain there were families that owned slaves. Can you imagine what it takes to be able to own another human being?"


"Not even to just own them, but to be able to convince yourself that they aren‘t humans." Ashleigh added.
