In the first of the stories a young girl-child is stolen by the gypsies. Yet they decide to give the child up, and they leave it in an out-house owned by a young clergyman. The latter isn't very pleased at this, but his wife certainly is, and they bring the child up. After a few years, and in a particularly tense moment, the true mother is found. An agreement is reached, whereby the child is shared. As with Amy Walton short stories, there is not only a well-told tale but also a moral.
Erica is lifeless, insecure, and everything changes when she meets a guy and names him Johnny. After that, he's at her school, becoming popular...and unusually dangerous. And he reveals things to her that she wishes she never knew before. She's a mixed species, half Owling, have Demon, two things that should never be combined. Something that's highly illegal. When Johnny introduces her into a new life, everything changes with her inhuman friends, her family. Her life.
