What The Seven Thunders Uttered Mary Hicks McReynolds

"What the Seven Thunders Uttered" unspools a fragile thread of amity among family members and neighbors wrenched by death, destruction, cruelty, crime and ignorance. In the early days of a new century, a new state is created from twin territories. Its occupants prosper or fail according to the whims of nature and their own choices. When seven distinct calamities try men's souls, farmer/oilman Benjamin Franklin Reuben chooses not to ignore the signs of divine intervention. While continuously revising his pamphlet on biblical prophecy, he can't ignore that his faith is being tested. Will it survive the latest storm? Expectations boom among the righteous but the wicked are ever present. Reuben realizes that tribulation amidst tenuous joy is mankind's lot. Through it all, the pamphleteer seeks to "hurt not the oil or the wine." But grapes of wrath challenge every fiber of his being and his beliefs.
