Watching for God

By: Wendy Kirkland

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Booey Creek, North Carolina, the mountains hold more than quiet beauty — they hold secrets. For two lifelong friends, a white woman who has never left the valley and a Black woman who made it her home decades ago, the past refuses to stay buried. What seemed like a tragic accident years earlier continues to cast long shadows over families and friendships.

When old secrets edge toward discovery, the price of truth could shatter families and reputations. Loyalty collides with justice, and even blood ties may not be enough to withstand the strain. If the truth is forced into the open, it could destroy everything these families have built — but if it stays hidden, the next generation may pay the cost.

As Booey Creek faces its reckoning, no one is safe from the consequences of that night. Is forgiveness even possible when lives were stolen and innocence betrayed? Or will the town learn too late that some debts demand to be paid?

Watching for God will keep you turning pages until the very end, asking whether grace can still be found in the ruins of broken trust.
