Coldwater Revival by Nancy Jo Jenkins
A lovely story, set in the early part of the last century, Coldwater Revival is the story of Emma Grace Fallin, a young woman from a large Irish family in rural Texas. A sympathetic main character, and colorful characters lighten the heavy story of a family’s tragedy and how the family copes – or doesn’t – with the aftermath, and how it affects their faith. At times it is a little obvious in evangelizing the reader, but it isn’t too distracting overall. A sweet little romance, with a stubborn, willful young woman at the center, and it stays G-rated in content as well.
It is published by Cook Communications Ministries, so makes no bones about being Christian in tone, but it isn’t very “preachy,” so don’t let that keep you away from a nice story.
