"The Annals of the Parish" by John Galt is a story told as if it were Rev. Micah Balwhidder’s own diary, where he writes about being the minister of Dalmailing and all the things that happened there. From the very start, right when King George III took the throne; the story walks through day-to-day life, focusing on the people, their beliefs, and how everyone made a living back then. Rev. Balwhidder tells of his first tough days as minister when some people didn't like him much, and he shares stories of folks like Mrs. Malcolm, a mom struggling to take care of her kids. His writing style makes you feel like you're right there with him, experiencing the ups and downs of the town as it changes, with everyone trying their best and holding onto their faith.
