The Homecoming of Samuel Lake: A Novel ReviewReading "The Homecoming of Samuel Lake" was a pleasant surprise for me. I was not familiar with the author, Jenny Wingfield. When I opened the back flap and learned that this was her first novel (after two successful screenplays), I didn't know what to expect. But it took only the very first sentence to hook me...and the rest of the paragraph to set the hook. After that, all she had to do was reel me in.
Samuel Lake is a good man. He's a faithful husband to the former Willadee Moses, a loving father to their three children, and a preacher by choice. But he's a man in conflict when he finds himself without a job, a home for his family, or any prospects for the future. By default, the only temporary home he can find is with the Moses clan on their family farm.
A sudden tragedy ricochets the trajectory of his preaching career like a bullet off a rock. Sam is forced to question everything he is and stands for--as a husband, a father, and a man of God. The process for him is about as painless as a Civil War era amputation--without anesthesia. And you feel his and his family's pain, yearning, hope, and disappointment as though you were living in their skin.
Wingfield's characters are as deep as a well--and as refreshing as a cool drink from it. The plot's twists and eddies carry you along their strong current to its dramatic conclusion. Wingfield knows how to keep the suspense as tight as a fishing line--giving a little play of humor to relieve the tension before hauling back on the line again. And her writing style is original and fresh with Southern homespun phrasing. "The Homecoming of Samuel Lake" was a verbal feast for the senses. This might be Jenny Wingfield's first novel; but I fervently hope it's not her last. Highly recommended!The Homecoming of Samuel Lake: A Novel Overview
