About this ebook

When Stacy Blume came down the aisle during a Harmony Temple revival, she confessed to being the pastor's lover. For Dr. Matt Landry, founder of the church, it was a double blow, threatening his marriage and his driving ambition to make Harmony Temple the largest Protestant church along the Gulf Coast.

Harmony's trustees send Dr. Matt off on an indefinite leave of absence, while Private Investigator Lettie Fortenberry attempts to prove his innocence. Georgia Landry, who is Matt's co-pastor as well as his wife, is shattered by the conviction that the accusation is true. She goes in a different direction -- to Costa Rica, to find a new life in a new setting.

Is Dr. Matt guilty or innocent?

Even his sons are divided on the question. Exploring the depths of ambition, trust and forgiveness, the futures of a family and of a great church are at stake in this compelling new novel by Bert Johnston.
