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.

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.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

Pastor Tim placed a comforting hand on Riley‘s back. "She‘s in a better place, son."


"I just want her to be comfortable." Riley said hoarsely. He said that he wouldn‘t cry because this was Jewel Marlene Pranger‘s going home ceremony and he wouldn‘t look at it as her funeral. Hopefully now she would finally find rest.


Stella gripped his hand. He smiled at her thinking that she and Adam were the only family he had left—the only that he ever intended to recognize, that is. None of the other Prangers had shown up for the funeral not even his brother and sister. Both said that the weather was too bad but he knew the truth—they too had run away and cut themselves off from the bad memories on the mountain. And he didn‘t blame them for that.
