Frances Caywood is a bright, but pushy nine-year-old who is the undisputed leader of her small neighborhood crew best friend Louanne, younger brother Avery, and the boy across the street, J.B. Louanne remembers their shared childhoods of 1920’s Arkansas, recounting the creative exploits that Frances arranges for them, playing Tarzan of the Jungle or Cowboys and Apaches. But sometimes, Frances turns mischievous, as she insists on acting out Robin Hood and insists on stealing a neighbor’s fresh-baked pie.
While Frances dearly loves Louanne and Avery, she holds little respect for J. B. She sees him as a cowardly sort, with his white sailor suit and slickly combed hair, and needles him regularly about his lack of guts. When he fails to push back, Frances grows bolder and her teasing mushrooms into demands for J.B. to prove himself through dangerous displays of bravery.
Eventually, her orders go too far and J.B. decides to even the score, once and for all, leading Frances to learn an unforgettable lesson.

A young college-age couple attempts a late-night road trip, although the planned, uneventful drive turns out to be anything but.

Contrary Don't Have No "i" and Other Stories eBook Carolyn E Cook
These short stories make me feel like I am listening to stories my parents told about their childhoods, growing up in a very different time in America. I happen to know the author is not that old, but she certainly has captured the feel of a day gone by. She takes us back to another time even if only briefly and gives perspective and warmth and dimension to her characters all at the same time. The interchange between the husband and wife over the canned ham incident is priceless both in the verbal and the non-verbal exchanges!Keep writing Carolyn; you have a gift!
