Though happily married at forty-three, something's missing in Laura's life—the closeness, guidance and even discipline that she received from her mother while she was growing up. When she meets the older woman Harriet, the formidable woman sparks in Laura the kind of feeling she has been hungering for. While the two women are shopping at the local mall, Laura watches in awe as she witnesses Harriet intervene when a young female customer becomes disrespectful of the shop assistance. And when Harriet's admonishment of the rude woman ends with a blistering. "If you were my daughter, when I got you home, I'd spank your bottom so hard that you wouldn't be able to sit down tomorrow," Laura finds herself so aroused by the encounter that she's creaming her panties. Once confessing her secret desires to Harriet, Laura soon finds herself calling Harriet "Auntie", and on a roller coaster ride of desire, uncertainty, self-discovery, kindness, and promise at the hands of this experienced teacher. Auntie even provides her with useful tips for Laura to bring to her marriage bed.
