The Calling of Dan Matthews

In this sequel to Wright's best-selling The Shepherd of the Hills, Dan Matthews becomes the new minister of the Midwestern town of Corinth. The peaceful town is turned askew when the town's new nurse, the minister's romantic interest, comes to the aid of an outcast woman after her suicide attempt. Dan battles his conscience between his role as the puppet of the church elders and his strong desire to prescribe a dose of heavy ministry to his congregation.
