Abstract
This thesis contains the beginning chapters of a historical novella set in the 1950‘s. The narrative takes place in the fictional rivertown of Unger, Mississippi, where natural disasters amidst racial tensions in the community provide a backdrop for the exploration of spiritual and domestic concerns. The plot follows the character of Leah Borden, the wife of a young Baptist minister, whose loneliness compels her to seek belonging outside her community and her fractured marriage. Befriending an African-American girl, a young drifter, forces Leah to confront the postmodern question of the possibility of redemption and grace in the face of the uncertain, the unknown, and the unspoken.
