Adventure and love intertwine in “The Saddlebag Preacher of Pike County.” It is an evocative tale, spun by C.R. Violet, that features Rev. Jacob Chandler, a fresh graduate navigating his new preaching circuit. He learns quickly that his classes at college did not prepare him for everything and everyone he encounters.
Growing up shielded from life's harsher realities, Jacob now faces the profound challenges of those toiling along the Ohio Canal. Stepping into the clandestine world of the Underground Railroad, he risks everything to aid 'travelers' on their path to freedom—a feat fraught with peril and moral quandaries. This heart-stirring narrative intricately weaves themes of faith and romance as Jacob grapples with love thwarted by societal and familial pressures. When the woman he cherishes is torn from his grasp due to her mother’s disdain for his impoverished status, the choice to pursue her or stay the course tests his very soul. Discover a tale of courage, love, and the indomitable spirit of hope. Ready for a journey that will entertain and inspire?
