Episode 9: A Well-Selected Man

from Paint the Sun: A Boy's Journey

In this episode, we follow Joel’s journey from the familiar streets of Bessemer, PA to the academic halls of Allegheny College in the late 1930's. As he grapples with homesickness and financial hardship, Joel finds himself at a crossroads—torn between the world he knew and the one he yearns for. Along the way, he experiences first love with the beautiful and enigmatic beauty queen Mary Jane Beeler, a campus wide celebrity. But as graduation nears, the looming specter of war threatens to upend everything.
