Woman Obsessed
She hated the child whose life stirred within her...because it was part of him whom she loathed and despised...

Soon, she takes in a drifting handyman, they fall in love, and a resentment begins to build between the son and his new "step-father" who treats the boy harshly on purpose to prepare him for life on the frontier.
