Gaining Grace in Greenwood Grove: A Novella

By S. Ricardo McCoy

Some goodbyes don't feel like endings-they feel like God opening a door you prayed would stay closed.

Pastor Javante "Mack" McClintock thought he had buried the past that nearly buried him. For years, he poured himself into The Well-a small, multicultural church in McClintock, Georgia-preaching hope to others while quietly carrying scars of his own. But when a call from Bishop Johnson summons him back to his hometown of Greenwood Grove, Mack is forced to face what he left behind: fractured relationships, buried secrets, and an old life that refuses to stay dead.

At Greater Harvest, a congregation in transition, Mack finds himself walking a razor's edge between grace and grief. Aaliyah, his gifted, powerful wife sees more than she speaks. Dominique, quiet yet unflinching, pushes him to confront what he'd rather avoid. And Chino-the fiercest of the old street soldiers-forces Mack to reckon with a past allegiance that still carries resentment and danger.

In a town where faith and failure live side by side, Gaining Grace in Greenwood Grove is a powerful story of redemption, resilience, and the God who restores broken people in broken places.

Perfect for readers who love character-driven Christian fiction with heart, this novel reminds us that no past is too heavy, no wound too deep, and no story too far gone for grace.
