The Moving of Lilla Barton
John MacNicholas

A drama of a newly widowed minister's wife who refuses to move out of the church-owned house to make way for the new minister.

A gossiping gaggle of Episcopal eccentrics is causing trouble. Lilla and her late husband single handedly designed and built the church vicarage in this small Alabama town. Now that her husband passed on, Lilla is being evicted!

The outstanding group is led by an evil Yankee newspaper editor and a crass real estate peddler. The sympathetic bishop and the senior warden, an old Southern gentleman, are trying to help Lilla, but ultimately it is her combination of resilience, vulnerability, and courage that make this heart warming story soar.
