Zoe Is Put in Her Place: an age regression novella

Struggling to stay afloat during a difficult economy, twenty-year-old Zoe reaches rock bottom. As her parents are dead, she has to resort to contacting her Aunt Lily and Uncle Cillian. So Zoe finds herself sharing a home with her aunt and uncle and their six children. This is a very different environment for Zoe to adjust to. Given her youthful appearance and diminutive stature she is given her younger cousin's clothes to wear, and sulks because she feels like a little kid. When she starts behaving like one, she is spanked on her bare bottom! For this is a strict household where spankings are part of daily life... as Zoe quickly finds. Zoe does not conform easily, and when she resists the house rules, finds herself being treated like a much younger girl as a reminder she has to do as she's told. Not only is she spanked by her aunt, but by her younger cousins too! She's even enrolled into a private school which advocates the use of corporal punishment, and is not pleased to be placed with a class of thirteen-year-olds. Still, even with a sore bottom, Zoe begins to enjoy her second experience of adolescence with her new family. Bonds are slowly forged, friendships formed, and Zoe learns her place in the family hierarchy.
