Waynesville, Indiana

Waynesville, Indiana is where the Wheeler family lives. Sera and Joe go about their lives here as youngsters. Sera spends more time away from home as she trains. With each of the specific settings, there are very few descriptive passages. For example, the reader knows the Wheeler house is a two-story building because Sera hears Charlene coming up the stairs one night. Sera and Joe have their own rooms, meaning the house has at least three bedrooms. The lack of description is not particularly important.
