THE BOOK

A story of the Donnelly/Warren/Carpenter families as they deal with some less than reputable characters who have managed to skirt getting caught by the law for their rotten deeds. Will bachelor minister, CW Warren, have to put his dreams away to deal with the fallout of family secrets -- or can prayer, the Shadow Angels and Detective Will Fox keep everyone safe?
