Oh.. another fabulous read (but a definite sleeper) is The Calling by Cathryn Clinton.
Here's the publisher's description:
In 1962 in South Carolina, twelve-year-old Esta is called into the ministry of Jesus and anointed with the gift of healing, but when her relatives decide to take her on a religious crusade she wonders if it is the right thing to do.
There are many many hilariously humorous scenes but at the heart of it really is about Faith and Truth, tenderly rendered through Esta's experiences.
