At the age of fourteen Joe and the other farm boys enticed a young black woman into a shed to have sex. When Joe's turn came, he began to beat the woman.
The other boys tried to stop him. Then he returned home where he faced father's punishment for not completing the day-work.
His parents finally fell asleep, and seventeen-year-old Joe silently went outside his bedroom through the window.
He went down to the road and waited for his date to pick him up in her car and tooke them to the dance.
Joe recalled how he first had met the woman in town, accompanying his father on a trip to meet with a lawyer.
When the consultation run late, Mr. McEachern took them to a dingy back-alley restaurant, staffed by a thirty-year-old waitress.
Joe unnerved by his sexual attraction to the waitress, avoided town and tried to lose himself in bouts of hard work.
But Joe suddenly resumed his interest in going to town and accompanied his father on the next trip, carrying a half dollar that his mother had secretly given him.
He only wanted to meet Bobbie, the waitress, on the street. Two days later, Joe was early for the nighttime rendezvous that they had planned.
Soon the two were seeing each other regularly, and Joe was stealing more and more money from his mother. When he showed up to meet her on the street corner one evening and she did not appear, he went to her window and discover that she was entertaining another man inside.
At their next meeting, he striked her repeatedly before she calmed him down and explained to him that she was a prostitute.
