In Need of the Doctor

Hard times during the 1930s placed a heavy hardship on communities and individuals. This story takes place in the Great Depression, in the midst of those turbulent times. It is a good example of what happens when there is a complete breakdown of society due to economic and climatic changes and failures inherent in all types of relationships. High-speed chases, machine guns, gangsters, cowboys, preachers, saloons, hospitals, and miraculous healing are all found in this novel. Hard times are finally converted into good times through a transformation of the little town called Revival City, Montana. This town cannot be found on any Western map, but the scenes described are timeless, and as we all know, history repeats itself if we let it.
