About this title

Synopsis

A story of turmoil of the South in the 1960�s in a new novel about civil disobedience and liberation �

When Mike Dunn, newly ordained minister from New York City, arrives in the Southern community of Rivertown in 1961 to become the next pastor of the Community Church, he is plagued about his decision "to do God�s work." He�s tentative with his Southern congregation, unwilling to offend the sensibilities of those of this highly different culture. Mike plays it safe�until he�s knocked off the fence of non-commitment by Maureen, a beautiful, outspoken young widow. Mike finds his true heart and soul�hardly an easy thing to do for a progressive Northerner during the dawn of freedom riders. Challenges keep coming at him, most hurtfully from Maureen when their child turns out to be "exceptional." With the help of a Catholic priest, Mike learns to wisely discern the principled from the profane�white and black�as he nurtures his baby girl and becomes accepted by his flock, even as his actions are threatened by the Ku Klux Klan.

Store Description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
