About the Book

Welcome to Bellhaven, Alabama. In a time when America is unsure of her moral bearings, the Church of Jesus the Savior is thriving. At least, most folks think so. But no one knows that the pastor is confronting changes in his soul that will give him no peace or that his wife has left him in every way that matters. No one knows that their daughter embraces cold hatred or that she is working with others to set a terrible plot in motion. No one knows that the preacher's son has fallen in love with a girl that is both enchanting and forbidden. Their secret meetings set the stage for the horrific consequences of bigotry in a town where the citizens think everything is normal and intend for it to stay that way. A young man must enter adulthood bearing the scars of one deadly night when love cost everything.
