Book Description
A gripping tale of love, murder, and betrayal in the antebellum South. In 1853, Reverend George Carawan was arrested for murder in the small town of Rose Bay, North Carolina. The subsequent trial was a media sensation at the time, with the story being reported in newspapers as far as London, England. The idea of a well-respected preacher shooting an unarmed man would have been enough to gain an audience's attention, but Reverend Carawan was thought to have done many more sinister things in his lifetime, all of which he found necessary in order to maintain his position of power and wealth in the community where he had made a name for himself. Beneath the Splendor tells the story of what might have happened to propel these tragic events just as the corroded foundation of the South began to crack in the years before the Civil War. *** Mary knows she should resist the advances of the charming Reverend Carawan, but she doesn't. All she has ever known is life as a domestic servant, but she has always wanted more. When he proposes marriage while his first wife still clings to life, she accepts. After all, he is the wealthiest and most influential man in Rose Bay, North Carolina, and everything she has ever dreamed of seems within reach. Finally, it is her chance to experience the life she has always been denied in the self-proclaimed glorious South. Unfortunately for Mary, it isn't long before Reverend Carawan's blatant infidelity and violent outbursts shatter the majestic life she had once imagined. He preaches the Word of God, but she only finds true salvation in the arms of the new schoolteacher Clement Lassiter. He is everything Reverend Carawan is not and restores her hope for a better life. But Reverend Carawan doesn't tolerate anything that might tarnish his good name or jeopardize his standing in the community. He is a dangerous man when angry, but when threatened, he is deadly. Having been enamored by what the world seems like rather than what it truly is, Mary finds herself bound to a life not worth living, but a ghostly encounter enlightens her to what lies beneath the splendor, and along with others who have been forced to live in the shadows of the South, she is hopeful that Reverend Carawan will be brought to justice.

Pages : 353
Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, comes a gripping story about a group of friends in a small town who find themselves dealing with unexpected powers after a cosmic event. Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you weren't a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That's the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma. In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It's silly, it's fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them. Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isn't fiction--it's a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate...everything changes.
