Mighty Prevailing Prayer
Bright and beautiful Meggie Best has spent her whole life in Marrying Stone, Arkansas. Rejecting the local suitors, she has always been certain that, someday, her prince would come. When tall, elegant, harvard-educated J. Monroe Farley arrives in the sleepy little turn-of-the-century town, Meggie thinsk her dreams finally may come true. But young "Roe" has focused all his attention on recording the traditional folk songs of the Ozarks on his Edison listening box. Then one moonlit night, he and Meggie accidentally jump over the "marrying stone" outside the church together - and what are they to do now that the whole town considers them married in the eyes of God?
