Riley's first book was about the history and environment of the northern part of the Barrens. Here she shares stories told by others about such matters as murder in the pines, battle at Painted Rock, radon, the donkey and the lantern, the cranberries to Christ, the legend from Leeds, and superhero. Illustrator Andrew Gioulis, her partner in a communications company at the edge of the Pine Barrens, provides drawings of people and places. The stories are not indexed.
