(Edmund Marion) The Quickening Produced by Paul Ereaut, Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net Character set for HTML: ISO-8859-1 "The Quickening" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the backdrop of Paradise Valley, Tennessee, the story unfolds around a revival led by the Reverend Silas Crafts and introduces its central character, twelve-year-old Thomas Jefferson Gordon. The book delves into themes of personal transformation, faith, and the challenges of adolescence amidst the social dynamics of the South. At the start of the narrative, the small wooden church of Little Zoar is filled with congregants attending a revival meeting. As the Reverend Crafts preaches passionately, Thomas Jefferson grapples with his own sense of faith and the pressures of his upbringing. He witnesses the stirring of emotions in both himself and others, particularly in his friend Scrap Pendry, who recently sought redemption. The opening section sets the stage for Thomas's internal struggle between the ideals of righteousness instilled by his mother and the temptations of youthful recklessness, foreshadowing the significant themes of conflict and growth that will follow in his journey.
