Stories of repentance, renewal, redemption, and reawakening, plus one that defies categorization. The people in the stories include a young preacher, dealing with a loss of confidence and a loss of faith; a 12-year-old boy who encounters "The King of the World," who lives in a chicken coop; a farmer who wakes up one morning and starts walking away from his land and his family and encounters the spirit of Ava Gardner; three women who, each in her own way, save each other; and a moonshiner who discovers one of God's finest creations.
