Book excerpt: Lindsay Harding, a young hospital chaplain in the tiny town of Mount Moriah, North Carolina, just wants to help people. But her eagerness to help draws her into a dark world of secrets and lies when a beloved Civil War re-enactor is murdered in front of hundreds of on-lookers. As Lindsay races to find the killer and avoid becoming the next victim, she draws upon her courage, her friends, and her own irreverant brand of religion. All the while Lindsay is torn between her attraction to the hospital's new doctor, an Adonis in surgical scrubs, and her fractious, flirtatious relationship with the (sort-of) married detective investigating the murder. When Lindsay threatens to expose century-old sins that shaped the very soul of Mount Moriah, the murderer gets to close for comfort and threatens Lindsay's chance at a happy ending.
