Seasoned prayer warrior Flossie Butterby has just been given a new assignment. Gemma Darnell is running from a past filled with toxic relationships that have haunted her since she was a girl. Flossie is confident, spry, and silver-haired. Gemma is young, scared, and disillusioned. Even so, when the two women meet on a local tourist train in the Carolina mountains they feel an immediate connection.
The tourist train stops at a former train depot that has been transformed into a lovely book store. During renovations, Winny McPherson, local author and owner of the Tresia Depot Bookshop, had unearthed an ancient relic buried in the former depot’s coal bin. The mysterious Bronze Shovel, now hangs above the fireplace mantel in the main lobby. When closing time comes and the lights are shut off, only Winny has witnessed how a smokey light drifts from the bed of the Bronze Shovel and casts an unexplained glow dancing across the bookshelves. Winny doesn’t know all of its mysteries. Not yet.
After the excursion on the train, Gemma, with the help of her spunky new friend Flossie, learns amazing secrets about the Tresia Depot Bookshop and its owner. But can the Bronze Shovel and the supernatural power it possesses lead her on a journey that will erase her painful past and change the course of her future?
Or will the sinister stranger who’s been stalking Gemma crush her resolve and snatch away her chance at a brand new life?
