NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. novelist Stephen King has announced on his website his book, "Revival," will be published by Scribner and Hodder & Stoughton in November.
"In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers," a synopsis said. "Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs -- including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.
