'Untempered Wind' Summary
Untempered Wind tells the story of Myron Holder, a young woman who becomes pregnant out of wedlock and is subsequently ostracized by her community. As she struggles to forge an independent life for herself and her child, she faces the harsh judgment and condemnation of her neighbors. The novel explores the complex social and moral issues surrounding unwed motherhood, gender roles, and the limits of societal tolerance. Through Myron's journey, Wood challenges conventional notions of morality and exposes the hypocrisy and cruelty that often underlie small-town life.Book Details
