This book contains the five age-appropriate short stories about adolescent, anti-contact, non-offending minor-attracted persons (MAPs) from Past the Dark Field. "MAP" is an umbrella term for nepiophiles, pedophiles, hebephiles and ephebophiles.

While society believes "pedophiles" to be responsible for all child sexual assault, research has proven this to be untrue: most MAPs do not sexually offend. These stories explore some of the issues an adolescent MAP goes through. Topics include self-identification (which usually occurs in early adolescence), finding support, dealing with an attraction in an ethical manner, abuse from "pedo-hunters" and how to report child sexual abuse images.

This book contains no explicit child sexual abuse. It is intended as an introduction for young MAPs and adolescents who are interested in child sexual abuse prevention.
