The Amazing Crab Alley Revival is Out to the World

, ,
Three women, an unlikely mission, a town forever changed

After decades of dreaming, years or writing, months of editing, and weeks of waiting, the day has finally come. The Amazing Crab Alley Revival is officially released.

From the beginning, God has been with this book. He was the inspiration, putting together all the pieces, preparing my heart for the story that was to come. At times, the words flowed straight from Him to me and it was all I could do to keep up. At other times, when I struggled, He guided me through the rough spots.

Now comes the time of reckoning. My book baby is all grown up and going out out into the world. I’m a little nervous, to say the least? What will be the response? Will the general public like it as much as the early readers? Will it speak to women’s hearts? Will it impact lives?

It’s out of my hands now. All I can do is pray that God will deliver it to those who need to read it. That He will use it as a vessel to minister, convict, encourage. That He will take my humble offering and use it in mighty ways.

Will you join me in praying for The Amazing Crab Alley Revival? Will you help me spread the word and get the book to those who will be blessed by it?

What Others Are Saying

This book, y’all, is just too funny and cute! I highly recommend it. There’s just so much to love about this story! You’ll love all the characters that I mentioned except one. I laughed until I cried tears, and then I found myself praying for the whole town! You’ll also love a little boy named Sam and his dog, lol. I’m giving this delightful story 5 stars!
~ Lori Parrish, Interviews and Reviews

I can’t begin to say how much I enjoyed The Amazing Crab Alley Revival by Sharon Wilharm. Seriously, if you’re looking for a unique historical story that will make you think about your own spiritual life, read this book!
~ Lenora Worth, 2019 RITA Rinalist, NY Times, USA Today, and PW bestselling author

From the first page, author Sharon Wilharm pulled me into this incredible historical novel. I highly recommend The Amazing Crab Alley Revival to readers who wish to be challenged in their faith, their view of the people around them, and their understanding of God’s call on their lives.
~ Danielle Grandinetti, award-winning historical romance author of As Silent as the Night

The Amazing Crab Alley Revival by Sharon Wilharm has become my favorite book for the 2020s! The characters are so richly developed that I feel like they are people I know. It was easy to become engrossed in what was happening in their lives and care about what happened to them. I could identify more with Lydia since I am an older woman, often reflecting on what I am still able to do for God. But, I also felt a connection to Opal and Emily.
~ Cindy Navarro, book and movie reviewer

What an awesome read, the pages flew, and I fell in love with the characters. This book had me laughing out loud, but there are some sad aspects … This is a beautifully woven story, and unwrapping is a gift!
~ Maureen, book reviewer

This is a very interesting and thought provoking book! Each page brought to mind areas where I could be making a difference in my church and community. The cast of characters are remarkable! 
~ Jeanette, book reviewer

Charles Sheldon’s In His Steps meets The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in this exciting story that is as entertaining and convicting as it is impossible to put down … This book is a highlight of my reading year, and this gifted author is now on my must-read list.
~ Kate’s Clean Reads

Sharon Wilharm’s novel explores the historical hypocrisy of churches that prioritize social standing over Christ’s teachings. The characters in The Amazing Crab Ally Revival discover a mission field they’ve too long overlooked. A brilliant novel skillfully written.
~ Marbeth Skwarczynski, author of Princess of Moab: A Novel of Ruth and The Rose Collection

With the remarkably rich setting of Port Royal, Florida in 1897 as the backdrop to the story, Sharon Wilharm’s debut novel gives us a protagonist worth rooting for in Lydia Culpepper. The Amazing Crab Alley Revival is a beautiful reminder that all people are equal in the sight of God. An inspiring story with a broad cast of delightful and memorable characters!
– Heather Norman Smith, award-winning author of Songs for a Sunday and A Simple Kindness in Flatsboro

Sharon Wilharm beautifully weaves faith, hope, and redemption into a story that captures the heart. The Amazing Crab Alley Revival reminds us that God still moves powerfully in the most unexpected places. Inspiring from beginning to end.Theresa Rowe
