This first book in the Ali in Trouble series, features the following two stories:

Curfew, Panties and Lies: Eighteen-year-old Ali is in big trouble. Home an hour past her curfew, she is clearly drunk and is caught lying to her parents. To make matters worse they discover she has been wearing revealing thong panties, which had previously been forbidden. Once she is finished being sick and her parents have attempted to lecture her, she is sent to fetch the hairbrush. Her father, who considers himself head of the household and is a strict disciplinarian who has been known to paddle his own wife, soon has her over his lap and administers a particularly hard spanking, followed by a mouth-soaping after Ali's smart mouth gets her into more trouble. The following day her younger sister incriminates her further by telling a lie and, after a long day working hard, Ali receives a second spanking from her irate father on an already sore bottom.

The Car: While her mother is away for a few days, Ali borrows her car to go to the mall with her friend, but on their return they find it has been scratched and dented. After her attempt to conceal the damage fails, Ali is grounded, and she must forfeit her cruise to the Caribbean and stay with her grandparents instead. Not only that, but she is to receive two spankings: the first from her mother with a hairbrush and then later a spanking from her father with his belt.
