I read this one in the 60s as a young girl at my grandmother's -- no idea how old it was then. It might even have gone back a couple of decades.
The story is about a young seminary graduate who takes his first church. He and his young wife have all kinds of trouble with the set-in-their-ways, judgemental members of the congregation. Near the end the wife dies giving birth to their child (who for some reason I remember they named Paige) and the big decision is whether this pastor is going to abandon these members or stay.
There's a scene where the pregnant wife gets sick eating kumquats.
This is probably pretty obscure; hope someone can help me find it.
TIA.
