A church stands as a landmark of love for four generations
"Leap of Faith"
by Pamela Griffin
Everyone in town expects Amanda Hodges to marry Zeke Randall, but she only
has eyes for Matt Campbell, a man new to the area. Though the regular
townsfolk seldom appear to help, quiet Matt faithfully assists Amanda's
preacher father build his church every Saturday. Her heart quickly warms
to the somber man, but when she finds out the truth about his past, will
she turn her back on him or take a leap of faith and love him for the man
he is now?
"Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy"
by Kristy Dykes
The last thing Shirley Campbell wants is to marry a preacher like her
grandmother did. Shirley has spent her whole life working in the church
and knows she wants more out of life than just teaching Sunday School and
arranging church socials. Then she meets Forrest Townsend, the new
preacher, and her fickle heart betrays her. Can she give up all her dreams
and follow her heart? And will she be happy if she does?
"Only A Name"
by Debby Maynes
The only thing Atlanta-bred Eva Hargrove finds interesting in the tiny
town of Hickory Hollow is the new associate pastor, Robert Campbell. She
is quickly attracted to the kind man, but her father is pushing her into a
relationship with his business partner, James Randall. Eva can tell
there's bad blood between Robert and James. She later learns the longtime
family feud started with two men vying for the same woman. Will history
repeat itself as Robert and James both pursue Eva, or can the century-old
feud finally be laid to rest?
"Cornerstone"
by Paige Winship Dooly
Resort owner April Russell is eagerly looking forward to Matthew
Campbell's return to Hickory Hollow. Her one-time best friend and first
love, now a successful businessman, is just the one to refurbish the old
church. But when April learns Matt's true plans for the church and area
surrounding it, will the old feud between her ancestors, the Randalls, and
the Campbells be resurrected?
Church In The Wildwood takes us through several generations of
people who lived near and worshiped in the little church at Hickory
Hollow. In the opening story, the feud between the Randalls and Campbells
is established and resurfaces in the following novellas. I found the first
and last stories to be more action-oriented, and they held my interest the
most. It was interesting to see how the church and the community evolved
through the years. Each story has a faith message and a sweet romance that
will tug at your heart and have you wishing you could visit the Church
In The Wildwood.
