    When you live in a small town, people seem to doubt that you will ever move on to bigger and better things. When you seem different than everyone else, or have different motivations, goals and interests, people seem to think you will falter in your attempt to achieve your goals.

In turn, the Pyncheons blame the Maules’ revenge—and, particularly, the ancient curse of accused wizard Matthew Maule—for each…
