Silent Chapel

Beneath the sagging steeple of Silent Chapel, an Alabama ruin from Reconstruction days, history hums with secrets too dark to stay buried. Carrie Jo Stuart—historian, dream-walker, and co-owner of Seven Sisters with her husband, Ashland—leads her team to resurrect the chapel’s past. But when they unearth a child’s toy box in the damp root cellar, its lid carved with the jagged word SINNER, the past doesn’t just whisper—it screams.

Carrie Jo’s dreams plunge her into a nightmare: she’s Lila, a little girl trapped in her own toy box, clawing at the wood as dirt falls heavy, her father’s voice—Preacher Ezekiel Langston—intoning scripture over her fading pleas. A century ago, his twisted faith sealed her fate, turning playtime into a grave. Now, the chapel’s shadows stir, and its walls groan with more than time’s weight.

Rachel, the team’s sharp-eyed researcher, dives into the preacher’s fractured legacy, uncovering a betrayal that binds mother, child, and madness. As artifacts surface and echoes deepen, she and Carrie Jo race to free Lila’s restless spirit before the past claims them too. In this haunting new Seven Sisters tale, M. L. Bullock spins a Southern mystery of innocence lost and truths unearthed—where every creak hides a twist, and the toy box holds the key.
