This is a sweet novella about, I believe, our society after some kind of disaster or world war.  Shana is Daman’s niece by marriage.  He goes to another settlement to get her after her parents die.  He has been her loving guardian for three years, since she was fifteen.  When she turned 18, she and some other young people snuck out of the settlement to drink.  They all got caught and were turned over to their parents.  Daman was not very happy and decided that she needed to be spanked.  It is very humiliating for her, but she accepts it and she is forgiven after it is over.  There are more problems and more spankings as time goes on.  What we are really reading about is the evolution of a relationship.  Daman is coming to realize that he has feelings for Shana, but thinks that they aren’t appropriate.  Shana knows she has feelings for Daman and she wants him to notice her.  This is a very short novella.  I really think that it could have been expanded more.  From the title, we see that there will be more as this is Part 1.  I wish that Part 2 had been included and made into one longer, more satisfying book.  That’s why I only gave this story 4 stars.
