Wayne Pierson can’t remember a time when his life was easy. Enemies in the form of a stepmother and stepbrother have come between Wayne and his father, and now he is without a home. His one ally is his Aunt Crete, but even she can't be told everything. Wayne can never forgive the people who made his life a misery. But with his heart so full of bitterness, can there ever be room in his heart for Christ - or for real, pure love?
Some people, it seems, must go through life "by way of the wilderness" - through the really difficult paths, until they learn their own inadequacy and the pride is subdued, so that they can finally embrace the God they so need. - Summary by TriciaG
NOTE: The emotional abuse portrayed in the first few chapters of this story may be disturbing to regular listeners of Pansy. (9 hr 47 min)

Pride, stubbornness, incomplete communication and a somewhat confused sense of honor all combine to damage 3 families. It's a refreshing change from Pansy's frequent emphasis on the Temperance movement. (BTW, I really think the trigger warning in the synopsis was overdone. There was no physical abuse, and no deliberate emotional abuse from any of the adults in the story. )
