Fountains of the Spirit is a wonderfully constructed story that sneaks up on you spiritually as you enjoy the content intellectually. Marcyle Taliaferro creates characters who come to life right before your eyes. Everyone will know someone from their own lives who remind them of Laurel, T-Jack, and Emily Conner. This story is a must read by anyone who grew up in the country and gives insight to those who can only dream of it. I highly recommend this book!
