Revival

Summary: In a small New England town over half a century ago, Jamie is playing with his new toy soldiers in the dirt when he looks up to see a striking man, the new minister, Charles Jacobs. Jamie later learns he a man who with his beautiful wife will transform the church and the town. The men and boys are a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls, with the Reverend Jacobs. Then tragedy strikes, and this charismatic preacher curses God, and is banished from the shocked town. As Jamie grows older, he has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from age 13, he plays in bands across the country, running from his own family tragedies, losing one job after another when his addictions get the better of him. Decades later, sober and living a decent life, he and Reverend Charles Jacobs meet again in a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and the many terrifying meanings of Revival are revealed.
