I must really hate that kid and that's not fair. I would never have wished this on him. HIGH SCHOOL STORIES deals with a number of issues that young people face. Situations like early pregnancy, drug abuse, loss of family, isolation, identity issues, and lack of self-confidence result in new understanding and growth that these experiences bring.

"Mary Nyman has produced a collection of poetic tales that kept me reading late into the night. I highly recommend her latest work." -Steven Manchester, author of The Unexpected Storm
