Everything you need to understand or teach Revival Season by Monica West.
Monica West's novel Revival Season is the story of Miriam Horton, daughter of the charismatic preacher Samuel Horton. Though most know Samuel as a divinely-blessed preacher and healer, Miriam knows him as a strict father who sometimes brutalizes his family. When Miriam learns she has the ability to heal and that Samuel has apparently lost it, she sets out on a journey to force him to acknowledge that women can play a role in God's plan. Miriam loses sight of what is important along the way, bringing the entire family and their revival season to a crisis. The novel's main themes are power, gender roles, the effects of failure, public self versus private self, and living within God's will.
