Synopsis of Christmas
in Fountain City:
Ostensibly a simple love story set in a small Southern town
not unlike Prattville, Alabama, Christmas
in Fountain City takes on bigger
themes than the holiday or how and when to use the phrase “Merry Christmas.” Thematically tied to a fundraising slogan called “Faith
Promise,” the residents of Fountain City
explore giving from a variety of angles, and reach the conclusion that the love
they have for each other is enough to keep them looking out for one another and
even strangers.
The eighth book by Alabama writer Daphne Simpkins, Christmas in Fountain City is a
feel-good read which has arrived just in
time for the holidays but also in time for the January discussions that happen
inside churches which involve pledge cards for missions and other goals for the
coming year.
