Summary

Reactions and Reviews
'Acceptance' covers the reaction of the two mothers to Kirk and Spock's bonding. This unfortunately was my least favourite story, not because of the way that it was written but simply because I could not accept the story line. I am sorry, but on a personal level I cannot accept that Kirk's mother and Amanda had been to school together and had been great friends; nor can I live with Kirk and Spock in a hay loft when Spock is administering a spanking which is interrupted by their mothers, which results in all three humans dissolving into hysterics - no, sorry, not for me.

After their bonding Kirk & Spock pay a visit to Kirk's mother in Iowa. Alas, the author says very little about Pauline Kirk. There isn't even a physical description of her & I would have liked to know a lot more about her. Her attitude to Kirk & Spock's relationship seems to be rather old-fashioned considering she lives in the 23rd century. Fortunately Amanda turns up & enlightens her about Spock. [2]
