About
One stormy night, five stranded schoolchildren uncover the story of Richard Clayton Harwick — a boy who many years ago learned what it was like to have a truly wicked stepfather. But the children have stories of their own step-parents to tell — stories that have warmth and humour, as well as sadness, and a fair share of happy endings.
