Roy Summerall is finally just where he feels he needs to
be; back home ministering to the people he knows and loves.
He's a country boy in every sense of the word and knows the
country people and their needs in this small South Carolina
town. But his world is shaken when the Bishop calls and
tells him that he has recommended him as rector of St.
Michael's in Charleston, a much larger church in a much
larger city. Roy's not sure this will be a good fit, but
relies on God to make the decision.
As a young boy, Roy and his brother spent several summers
with their aunt who lived in Charleston. There he met Lish
and Anne Brumley and their cousin Della. Becoming the
rector of St. Michael's brings the three women back into
his life and brings their trials and everyday tribulations
to his attention. But that's the kind of minister he is,
one who wants to help people with the real everyday
problems in their lives.
As Lish begins to suffer severe postpartum depression after
the birth of her third child, Della and Anne bear most of
the burden of helping her. Lish's husband, a research
professor at MUSC, doesn't want to believe that this is
going on and is not much support in the crisis. He's far
too career- and appearance-focused and not very family
focused.
Observe how Lish battles back from the edge of destruction
as her cousins strive to help her. See how Della finds that
she has everything she ever really wanted right at her
fingertips. Discover how Anne learns that she really did
hear from God in the bell tower that day He told her
to "stay and wait" for the right man to come along. LOVE,
CHARLESTON is a masterfully woven story depicting the
changes we go through in life and how those changes shape
and mold who we really are. This is a heart-warming and
inspirational story you won't put down.
"Stay and wait." Anne Brumley heard these words years ago
in the bell tower at Saint Michael's Church in Charleston.
She's certain they were from God and has been waiting for
true love ever since. But her sister, Della, and their
cousin, Alicia, have their doubts. Could Anne have
misunderstood His calling?
Saint Michael's new rector may be the answer to Anne's
prayers. Good-old-boy and widower Roy Summerall can't
believe he's been called to pastor such an historical and a
decidedly rich congregation. He can't possibly measure up
to their expectations.
It will take a miracle of extraordinary love to provide a
happy ending for each of these four Charleston friends.
