Shattered Peace

Peace Ridge Village is a small town in rural Minnesota where people look out for one another. A town where "everybody knows your name." But a smooth-talking real estate agent visits the village with plans for transforming Peace Ridge into a tourist destination and in the process, long-buried secrets and hurts are revealed. Why Pastor Ed''s wife and children do not serve with him at Valley Community Church? The secrets that Eva Butler, the town''s prize-winning gardener, is hiding? The buried hurts in Bill and Donna''s marriage? Jennie, the farmer''s wife, and her hidden longing? It all comes together at the Crossroads Convenience Store where Romyn listens with a Christ-centered heart.
