With a combined total of just under 100,000 words this box set contains the stories of four women who find themselves residents of Frugal Valley, a domestic discipline community where husbands are head of the household and corporal correction is not only accepted but very much practised...

Damson is sixteen when she makes the trip with her mother to their new home in Frugal Valley. She is not at all happy about the prospect of going to live in a rural village, nor is she happy that the new man in her mother's life has proposed marriage. Although Damson has always yearned for a loving daddy, she feels a simmering resentment towards Matthew Studley, and becomes a most unwilling stepdaughter. It is one thing when Damson learns her mother is not exempt from spankings, and quite another when Damson herself is also subject to discipline, both at home and at school.

Daisy is aware that her parents haven't been getting along very well for some time, so when the three of them sit down to talk, she assumes a divorce is imminent. Her parents admit their behaviour has had an adverse effect on Daisy, and explain that after speaking with various people, they have decided to embrace domestic discipline, with Daisy's father as head of the household. Daisy is shocked to hear her mother will be spanked when she does something wrong or is disobedient, and is even more shocked that her mother is in full agreement that this will happen.

Delia, recently divorced, takes off on her own to enjoy an inexpensive holiday. Out walking on Sunday, she discovers Frugal Valley where, acting on impulse, she attends a service in the local church. Everyone is friendly towards her, particularly an attractive man named Paul, and his three-year-old daughter, Milly. Delia accepts an invitation to lunch where she learns that Paul is a widower. Though Delia is against corporal punishment and cannot for the life of her imagine how modern wives could submit to their husbands that way, she nevertheless enjoys getting to know Paul better. The feeling is mutual, and a relationship begins to develop.

Diamond is in her first year at university when her mother marries Ralph, the new man in her life, and moves in with him and his daughter at Frugal Valley. When she discovers that Frugal Valley is a domestic discipline community Diamond is shocked but also elated, as she's had spanking fantasies since adolescence. As time goes by, Diamond even suggests her new stepfather should spank her in the way he does his own daughter - but she quickly changes her mind when she experiences the painful reality of a harsh spanking on her bare bottom.
