Hunt-Williams

Secrets are like dead bodies; if not properly buried they begin to seep and destroy. Stanford Grandling has plenty of secrets and only one dead body, but the time is coming when she will have to reconcile both. A younger sister driven crazy by the past that they share and a secret so vile it could destroy what is left of the small town of Black Creek, Stannie faces and makes decisions that will change the course of every life stained by the secret buried in Black Creek. Sanctified is a story of devastating loss and the horrifying prospect that the process of redemption can be just as devastating.
