In this riveting tale of intimate secrets and hidden agendas, Pastor Jonathan Pierce is caught between the prominent church he is rebuilding and protecting his wife's abominable secret. The fact that two of his devoted parishioners are murdered because of his deceit doesn't deter unforgiving church member, Alma Curtis, from harboring a shameful secret of her own that, if revealed, will destroy much more than her saintly reputation.
Since the establishment of the first black Christian churches, they have been the centers of spiritual, political, economic and social development in the African-American community. The focal point of Alma Curtis’ community is King’s Chapel, the hundred year old church that she calls her second home. King’s Chapel is more than just a house of worship to Alma. Her family has been a part of the church since its inception and Alma takes pride and ownership in every aspect of its mission. Her devotion is so ardent that she has replicated the church membership with a collection of church pew figurines elegantly displayed in her living room. The effects of her inspiring collection is a mysterious thread that runs throughout the story.
