Will she give it all for a song?

 All for a song by Allison Pittman was an interesting book.  Dorothy grew up as the pastor's daughter in a small town.  She was engaged to the new pastor who replaced her father.  Life was predictable, boring and unfulfilling.  Though Dorothy was faithful to live out the life carried out for her.  When visiting her sister in St. Louis she happens about a Aimee Semple McPherson revival.  Suddenly Dorothy finds herself thrust into a world completely different than all she's known.  She must make decisions that will forever alter her life, as she is offered the chance to lead worship for Aimee's tour across the US. The story is set in the Roaring Twenties, and filled with all that time frame is known for.  The story is told in two parts.  One is Dorothy Lynn living her life then.  The other is Lynnie more than 90 years later... Piqued my interest in the history of both that time in history and Aimee Semple McPherson's life and ministry.
