Wineglass on the Veranda

Alex Crabbe was a young child whose life came undone after his mother died. His first placement in a foster home subjected him to emotional abuse and pornography. Although he is eventually moved to a loving home questions remain: Can the early exposure to pornography so warp his young mind that he cannot overcome those images as an adult? Will his early experiences propel him to unconscionable actions that will lead to his demise or will they instead rescue him from impending death?
