Amazon.com description: Product Description: Salted with Fire tells the story of a proud and self-confident young preacher, Mr. Blatherwick, makes a very big mistake which dogs him throughout the story. Blatherwick refuses to face himself, his faults and his need for a redeemer until his conscience almost drives him mad. He had become a preacher to make a name for himself, and in reality he had nothing to offer and everything to hide. The characters in Salted with Fire are very sympathetic and well drawn. We follow a grieving young girl, a compassionate older minister from the neighboring town, the wise shoemaker and his daughter, and the disappointed and alienated parents of the young preacher. The ending is quite a shocker, too, making this an excellent read.
