Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters

By Emily Carpenter

Book Overview

The bestselling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls returns to uncover a faith healer's elusive and haunted past.

Dove Jarrod was a renowned evangelist and faith healer. Only her granddaughter, Eve Candler, knows that Dove was a con artist. In the eight years since Dove's death, Eve has maintained Dove's charitable foundation--and her lies. But just as a documentary team wraps up a shoot about the miracle worker, Eve is assaulted by a vengeful stranger intent on exposing what could be Dove's darkest secret: murder...

Tuscaloosa, 1934: a wily young orphan escapes the psychiatric hospital where she was born. When she joins the itinerant inspirational duo the Hawthorn Sisters, the road ahead is one of stirring new possibilities. And with an obsessive predator on her trail, one of untold dangers. For a young girl to survive, desperate choices must be made.

Now, to protect her family, Eve will join forces with the investigative filmmaker and one of Dove's friends, risking everything to unravel the truth behind the accusations against her grandmother. But will the truth set her free or set her world on fire?

Customer Reviews

Fantastic fiction!

A great read by a newish author. I couldn't put it down. Very interesting details from time of traveling Bible shows.

Interesting characters and storyline

Such a great storyline that kept me wanting more. I loved the alternating time periods with each chapter and the history behind the traveling evangelists back in the day. A great read!
