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. It’s not like they were close. She hadn’t seen him–or her grandmother, the ice queen–in almost 20 years. But when Adella Atwater, … years. But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother’s apartment house, called and said Jillian’s expenses would be paid if she’d fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.
What Adella didn’t tell her was that the apartment house wasn’t 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 father’s 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 family’s broken history, and despite Adella’s wiliest efforts, only God himself can orchestrate the undoing of all that is going on at Saint Silvanus.

Loved , loved , loved . I bought it because I love Beth Moore I kept reading it thinking this is good but its not the Beth Moore I thought , until I got to the end . I’ve recommended it to my Bible group .
This was a great book. I really like Bet Moore’s books and loved this her first fiction.
Loved it!! It makes you want to know what happens next.. please tell us more!!
This book was so different from the typical Beth Moore book that it surprised me when I liked it so well.. Who knew Beth had it in her?!
Great mystery with a Christian ending!
The author did a good job of keeping this reader’s attention. There were enough subtle hints to realize there was something going on in the background. Facts were released bit by bit to build the curiousity. The characters were developed in a way that made it enjoyable and entertaining to read.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was so much fun to read. It was funny and had some sad moments. It kept my interest.
I loved it and hated for it to end you felt like you finally REALLY knew the characters and you had to say goodbye. You didn’t get to see the outcome of All the changes in their lives. It was hard to say goodbye to them.
ENJOYED THIS UNIQUE NOVEL! Love and loyalty OVER MANY YEARS–FAMILY HEALING !
Beth Moore did a great job. Loved the book. Could not put it down. Hope there is a sequel.
One of the things I like Jed about this book is that it was not predictable. The characters were very interesting and the plot kept my interest clear to the end.
A hard book to get into and hard to keep up with. I’m a big fan of Beth Moore….but not this book.
I’ve taken several of Beth Moore’s Bible studies and was thrilled to find this book of fiction by her! I loved the book and the characters. The questions at the end were very thought provoking. It was funny and parts were scary but that lady can
write!
What a riveting, compelling story. Characters were not always predictable but showed how we are all broken in need of extraordinary grace. Bravo!
One of my favorite books of 2017!
This is the first of Beth Moore’s fiction books that I have read and I enjoyed it immensely
