By Brenda Jernigan

Subjects: Fiction, Women healers, Women mystics

Description: "Every Good and Perfect Gift is set in a small town in North Carolina, a place that is comfortable with tradition, including the traditional image of God. On a sultry Sunday morning when ten-year-old Maggie Davidson swoons from the heat and sees God - and God is a woman - people are quick to ascribe her vision to the fantasies of an overheated girl. But when Maggie begins to demonstrate a gift of healing, people's attitudes change.". "This is a story of a family of three strong women - grandmother, mother, and daughter - who live by the laws of love, loss, and pride. It is also the story of a community of good people gone wrong and bad people who find good in themselves. It is a knowingly detailed account of a particular part of America - and of the wide landscape of human hearts and souls."--BOOK JACKET.
