Against the background of the rich agricultural region of The Great Lakes which was created when the Great Michigan Fire Of 1881 decimated its forest, young Reverend Leslie Lunnsford of Castleford, Yorkshire, England, arrives in the lovely lake port town of Port Crescent, Michigan in the early summer of 1914. He has come to fill in for the local pastor so he can take a vacation. Leslie expects rest and tranquility, but instead he finds a village in turmoil. He soon is embroiled in the religious hysteria brought on by a visiting "hell fire and damnation" evangelist from Detroit, the schemes of an unscrupulous immigrant from Odessa, Russia who is now determined to control the town, the obsessive ambitions of a grasping socialite. Near summer's end World War I engulfs the United States, and Leslie discovers the girl who will be the love of his life. This first novel by F.M. Hall is a story as real as your own hometown and one that you won't soon forget.
