The Silwan Secret

Gavrielle Bethel keeps a quiet life now — a century-old farmhouse in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee, a couple of aging cats, and the small daily rituals that hold a day together. But she has stood in front of refrigerators on six different continents, and she still reads a house the way other people read a book: every creak of the porch step, every rustle at the fence line.

Some habits never leave you. Neither do some secrets — and one of hers reaches all the way back to the old city of Jerusalem.

The Silwan Secret opens The Secret Life of Grandma — a series for anyone who has ever suspected that the ordinary woman across the kitchen table might be carrying an extraordinary past. For the readers quietly dreaming of a secret life that changes the world.
