Book Description
Since Louisiana is the only state in the union to organize itself through parishes and not counties, it should come as no surprise that its places of worship are pillars of its communities. The Big Easy is no exception. From New Orleans to the Northshore, stately churches, grand cathedrals and rustic chapels act as reliquaries and safeguards of community history and strength. The stories of their builders, architects and leaders exemplify development and the immigrant experience in Louisiana. Their parishioners embody the diverse and personal meanings of faith and devotion. Join Deborah Burst as she explores the rich history of churches of New Orleans.

Book Description
"Maybe I was wrong to sign that contract." Joy couldn't stop the quiver in her voice. "Working with you after all we've been through is more difficult than I imagined." She turned to walk across the grass to her car."No. Joy," Zack called after her. "Don't let him win now." He said it with enough force to stall her steps for a moment, but she kept going."Joy? You really slapped him?"She knew he was attempting to tease her out of her mood, but didn't he realize how angry she was with him? How disappointed?"That proves you can fight back," Zack said. "Don't let him get to you again.""You already managed that," she said. "Last year, when you broke our engagement." She raised a hand in a wave without looking back."You can't run away every time something goes wrong." His voice echoed across the lawn.That made her mad. She looked up at the stars, wishing she lived on one of them. "You ran last year, Zack, not me. I merely left." "You know those monsters you keep talking about?" he asked. "You're going to have to face them someday, or they'll always follow you."She pulled her keys from the pocket of her lab coat and hit unlock, listening to Zack's soft footsteps coming toward her across the grass.When Dr. Joy Gilbert is fired from a lucrative position in the city, she returns to her quiet riverside hometown of Juliet to find her ex-boss's fifteen-year-old daughter popping out of the backseat of the car, announcing that she will not return home to her divorced, embattled parents in the wake of her brother's death.

Joy manages the new challenges in her life with determination until she discovers how difficult it is to work for the man she still loves. Even if he is still the old Zack, even if he does still care, can she trust him with her whole heart again? While struggling to convince her former employer that she will not return to work for him, she discovers that his daughter, Tressa, has had fainting spells that worsen over time.Can Joy and Zack overcome their issues and painful secrets from the past in time to save Tressa's life?Visit the small town of Juliet, Missouri, in the first book in the Hallowed Halls Series, where small town charm, medicine and romantic drama intersperse with a touch of humor to keep you coming back for more.

It only compounds his trouble tenfold, making it that much heavier to carry. If it wouldn’t be for his best friend, Paul Rice, and a new female partner, attractive and feisty, he would have eaten his gun by now. Then along comes a weird murder case where the bones of the victims are all that is left of them. It’s enough to rock Corbin’s boat and set him back a step.
