Opis

During a time in our nation's history when Kentucky was a frontier wilderness full of "rogues and rascals," a Presbyterian minister hauls his family over the Appalachian Mountains to carve out a new homestead -- and light the spark of a spiritual work that changes a nation. Meanwhile, a young frontierswoman from neighboring Tennessee finds herself drawn in to these "church" meetings and sees displays of God's power that she never imagined. How she responds will change the course of her life along with those she loves. Readers will be captivated as they watch these two characters come to know one another and experience a great move of God -- both together and separately. So much accuracy is relayed in this account of historical fiction, that readers will be left wondering just which parts were imagined in this realistic tale.
