In "I Was Raised by Wolves," Cindy’s stubborn refusal to accept any romantic interest leads her to fabricate an engagement to a Harvard boy—complete with a fake ring—only to face a crisis of conscience when she realizes her true feelings for Ricky, the one she once turned away. Win Mortimer’s expressive art brings emotional depth to this classic Young Romance tale, while Creig Flessel’s striking cover captures the story’s mix of longing and deception.

In "Just Plain Scared," Cindy’s careful facade begins to crack when her long-held excuse—pretending to be engaged to a Harvard boy—starts to feel heavier than the ring she bought to prove it. Facing the truth about her feelings for Ricky, the boy she once turned away, she must confront the fear of being honest, even as her own lies threaten to unravel everything.
