He obtained a contract to sub at a country high school surrounded by farms from which most of the students came. In the story, Devils Hole Rd, the reader is taken into the high school classrooms at Westlake High in southern Indiana as Donald is transformed nurturing a fantasy about a sixteen year old junior, Diana Sabatini.
