Exciting fiction premiere from beloved New York Times bestselling author Beth Moore.
2017 Christy Award finalist (General Fiction category)
Only God knew why Jillian Slater agreed to return to New Orleans on the news that her father had finally drunk himself to death. ItтАЩs not like they were close. She hadnтАЩt seen himтАФor her grandmother, the ice queenтАФin almost 20 years. But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmotherтАЩs apartment house, called and said JillianтАЩs expenses would be paid if sheтАЩd fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.
What Adella didnтАЩt tell her was that the apartment house wasnтАЩt a house at all and, whatever it was, bore the dead weight of a long and painful history. As soon as Jillian meets the odd assortment of renters and realizes that her grandmother had no idea she was coming, she hatches a plan to escape. But the investigation into her fatherтАЩs death quickly unfolds and Jillian is drawn into the lives of the colorful collection of saints and sinners who pass through Saint Silvanus. She soon discovers there is more at stake than she ever imagined. Who is behind the baffling messages and the strange relics left on the steps? Is it possible that her family is actually cursed? Or is it just this crazy old house that holds them all under its spell?
Jillian walks into a web of spiritual and personal danger borne out of her familyтАЩs broken history, and despite AdellaтАЩs wiliest efforts, only God himself can orchestrate the undoing of all that is going on at Saint Silvanus.
