Quaker Summer

A Novel

BY LISA SAMSON

Brief Description:
When Heather Reeves wrecks her Suburban outside Baltimore, Maryland, two elderly Quaker women come to her rescue. Inspired by their radical lives, Heather experiences a summer of awakening and grace. "Samson's unflinching exploration of childhood bullying, as well as inner-city poverty and drug culture, are rivaled only by her portrayal of the soul-desiccating acquisitiveness in which many Christians engage.... Unlike many Christian novelists, Samson does not tidily resolve every single problem her heroine faces, but instead paints an emotionally and spiritually luminous portrait of a soul beckoned by God." - Publishers Weekly
