The Light at Lenora’s Bay

The Light at Lenora's Bay (A Novel of Faith, Forgiveness, and the Storms We Weather) When Chef Evan Price leaves the city to escape a broken marriage, a failing restaurant, and a faith gone dry, he expects the quiet coastal town of Lenora's Bay to be little more than a place to hide. But his arrival collides with an unsolved mystery—the thirty-year-old disappearance of church matriarch Lenora Haines, a woman known for feeding both the hungry and the hopeless. As Evan reluctantly joins a small circle of believers—Jonah, the weathered interim pastor; Grace, a marriage counselor facing her own fractures; and Maya, a young marine biologist with a gift for reading the tides—clues begin surfacing in odd places: a bent kitchen knife, a ring caught in a lighthouse railing, and a ledger that hints at betrayal deep within the church's walls. Threats rise with the tide. Someone wants the truth buried under water and whispered warnings. But in the heart of the storm, Evan learns that the most dangerous seas aren't crossed in boats—they're crossed in the soul. Rich with small-town texture, suspenseful twists, and the quiet courage of everyday faith, The Light at Lenora's Bay is a story about the God who meets us in the mess, the power of feeding each other—body and spirit—and the light that still sweeps across even the darkest waters.
