He is included in every social gathering, and considered an asset to the company. He enjoys the experience, and yes, he likes to test it, see how far he can go with his easy smile and playful ways. All is fun and games until one day, a young woman, with three children in tow, enters his store and brazenly steals a coil of rope. Laura Creek is a small town, and thieving is unheard of. Quinn had, as a boy, stole his share of apples. Now though, on the other side of the counter, he doesn’t care for the game at all. After the thieving vixen and her gang’s appearance, things come up missing from his brother’s farm, his cousin’s porch, and lumber and building materials are disappearing from the loading dock.

Quinn’s despicable and dangerous daddy, the man responsible for the McAdam children’s homelessness, is on the loose again. He must be stopped.

Storia di un amore moderno
by Daniela Giovannetti PEDRO HUGO GARCÍA PELÁEZIsaan e Moyna avevano vissuto, fin dalla più tenera età, uno accanto all'altro e, tuttavia, non si conoscevano di persona. Avevano due anni di differenza e lui andava al collegio per maschietti e lei a quello per femminucce, separati solo da un muro, e c'era una così grande varietà di bimbi intorno a loro che sarebbe stato difficile conoscersi al di là del muro. Quando dico muro lo dico in senso letterale, visto che il collegio per bambine era da una parte, sopra, e un muro di una decina metri lo separava dal collegio per maschietti, sotto, e i due continuavano così a vivere fianco a fianco ma senza conoscersi. Uno dei migliori amici di Isaan aveva una sorella che era una delle migliori amiche di Moyna.

Just like the molecules that make up all living things, polycules come in diverse forms: large, small, tightly bound, loosely connected, static, ever-changing.

Children describe life with more than two parents; adults share what it's like to parent with more than one partner. We hear from triads, solos, people who have felt polyamorous their entire lives, and people exploring poly for the first time. Some whimsical, some hilarious, some heartbreaking, some mundane, some life-changing—all pieces reflect the diverse reality of polyamorous families.
