The road to testament
(Book)

Ashlynne Rothschild never wanted to be a people person. She learned a long time ago that the more she protected herself from the details of people's personal lives, the better off her life would be. So it comes as a surprise when she finds herself liking - if not loving - the good, God-fearing people of Testament, North Carolina, where she is sent to earn her chops as a reporter. And it is with some anxiety that she unearths a story that could turn these people against her. Beneath the picturesque setting of the Blue Ridge Mountains, secrets are buried - one secret in particular. Keeping it hidden would go against Ashlynne's journalistic integrity, but publishing the story would hurt those she's learned to love - even her gruff, unapproachable boss, William Decker, who harbors mysteries of his own. Ashlynne has two options: run away or expose the truth of Testament . . . whatever the cost?
