Book Description
Now in mass market from award-winning author Patricia Hickman, the adventures of a drifter-turned-pastor and a trio of loveable orphans in this second installment of her Millwood Hollow Series. For Reverend Jeb Nubey, returning to Nazareth has meant the smell of freshly baked bread in the mornings and the reverie of church picnics by the lake. But that peaceful landscape is threatened when an ambitious banker starts buying up large plots of land and buildings in order to control the commerce and politics of the quaint town. Adding fuel to the fire is Winona, the banker's attractive daughter, who's been making pointedly generous donations to the Reverend's humble Church in the Dell. Throw in a botched poultry deal and a stolen church bell, and all at once Reverend Jeb is up to his eyeballs in trouble
