🎙️ Episode 21: Wes and Florence's Sinful Lives - [Jan 9, 1943]
It confused Mattie when her son Wes left his wife Florence to look for work in California. Today, she finds out some not-so-nice reasons why he might have made that choice.
In our longest ever letter (but not episode!), we have a bombshell of a revelation about Mattie's son Wes, and his wife Florence. Mattie is way in her feelings, and leaning on her faith to get through.
Ken is NOT leaning on Edgar Guest's poems, so he's got plenty of energy left to be Mattie's sounding board about a homesick Bud, and the answer to who is the new president of the Ladies Aid.
Content Advisory: this episode contains discussion of domestic violence.
