It's the start of the summer vacation and 13-year-old Grace Bracken is a teenager with a major crush on a 15-year-old boy named Mark, who she has learned is still subject to corporal punishment at home by his fundamentalist Christian parents. Although Grace herself has never been physically punished by her mother or step-father, she asks to be spanked in the future, thinking this will endear her to Mark and his parents. After some initial discussion and hesitation, the new regime is agreed, and Grace's step-dad creates her very own spanking paddle. It is quickly put to good use and Grace soon finds herself on the receiving end of one spanking after another.

But it isn't just Grace who feels the sting of the paddle, and when her mother behaves badly she, too, is subject to domestic discipline. Now that Grace has agreed to being spanked, it looks like the floodgates have opened and it's not long before she finds herself being caned by her mother's boss as well as given a paddling from her old baby-sitter. However, when things go awry, Grace's summer spanking experiment is finally over...

This is an entirely fictional work intended to be thought provoking and the author is strongly opposed to the spanking of children in real life.
