A feud, the fiery deaths of three little girls, and a confession, are events that come together and threaten four people’s lives in the suburban community of Payson Heights. The deaths create a major community controversy that draws Jack Schroeder into the conflict, as he becomes chairman of an ad hoc committee attempting to find suitable housing for the area’s migrant workers. A confession, made in confidence to a minister, is used to thwart the aims of the committee and threatens the lives of four people, including Jack’s wife, with exposure of a rape and assault they had covered up.

The story climaxes with a dramatic ending when the participants come together at a village hearing to determine whether suitable housing will be allowed in the village. “Payson Heights” is a sequel to the novel, “The Private Lives of Teachers.”
