About this ebook

Mother-daughter duo, Vivian and Cinnamon Mackey, think they’ve found the perfect contrast to their previous lives in New York when they move to the close-knit community of Gracious Meadows. As a young, sultry, single mother determined to escape her sketchy past and start anew, Vivian is happy when she finds a safe haven in Greater Saints First Baptist Church. Struggling with the sudden transition, Cinnamon secretly finds comfort in the arms of Raheem, a teen boy with a soiled name who has been shunned from the church. Though, no one will tell Cinnamon why.
Between a boisterous, and often inappropriate, Reverend and the meek and mild-mannered First Lady, Vivian is convinced she has found the perfect balance in the church’s leaders. However, when teen girls of Gracious Meadows begin to disappear, it sheds a new light on the Greater Saints First Baptist Church, its members and the secrets they hold. From a lighthearted youth pastor, to an envious furniture storeowner, a tight click of churchwomen, a group of anxious teens and a devout congregation, no one can be fully trusted. A serial killer is preying on the small town, bodies begin to surface, and the police are left chasing their tails. Only an act of God can make the town of Gracious Meadows safe again, and stop a killer in his tracks.
