‘Bold, daring, graceful and engrossing.’ BOBBIE ANN MASON
____________
They said Pastor Chamblis was a good man.
They said he could perform miracles, heal the sick – like my brother Stump …
But I know what I saw and it wasn’t no miracle.

Only Jess really knows what happened to his mute brother, but scared and on the run, can he live to reveal the evil truth behind the charismatic Pastor?

‘Mesmerising. . . an intensely felt and beautifully told story.’ New York Times Book Review
