Willow Creek was founded in 1857 by Jeremiad Willow, a Texas pastor who wanted to break away from the backwater antics of his congregation. He packed up his family and headed North to Michigan where he built his new church in a ghost town, which he renamed Willow Creek.
Members of his old church soon faithfully followed the Willow family and new arrival came soon after. The town built up quickly.
In 1967, when Aithley and Moira's father was just 8, the town was destroyed by a wildfire. Only two lives were lost that night; those of Aithley's grandparent, who were trying to get everyone else out.
They struggled to rebuld the town; they had lost everything and were far out of the way from most other towns or cities. The government was little, if any, help to them.
It took almost 20 years for them to get full back to where they were before, by which time the orphaned son had started a family and become the new pastor of their church.
Now, 21 years later, through different circumstances, his two daughters, one 24 and one 16, have also been orphaned. The sleepy town of Willow Creek hasn't changed much, but the arrival of a new family will bring about a change that is much needed and even more unwanted.
Change is coming… Where will you be when it arrives?
