Quiet Ohio Valley unfolds a Quaker youth’s awakening
In 1849 western Ohio a peaceful Quaker named David Carson drifts from village life after a traveling entertainer and his companion Repeeta spark a longing for the wider world. A revivalist steers him back to duty as the valley and its simple joys reveal God in nature and the soul’s awakening. The scene blends pastoral life with a coming of age.
