Home to Briar Mountain — Diane Noble

As a violent storm sweeps through Copper Mill, Kate receives a startling phone call from church member Joe Tucker. Through the static, Joe shouts that he has found something of great value and that he needs help, and then the line goes dead. Kate knows that Joe and Russ Keenan, his carpenter, have been restoring old buildings on Joe's land, and she worries that they may have been hurt by the storm. But when she arrives at his log cabin to assist them, Kate is shocked by what she finds. Joe's land is hiding something of great value, which could hold the key to unlocking secrets of Faith Briar Church's history. But is Russ hiding some history of his own? Meanwhile, several houses have been damaged by the storm, and with Kate at the helm, the church initiates fund-raising efforts. Can Kate help repair the homes in the neighborhood? Will discovering the meaning behind Joe's hidden treasure unveil Faith Briar's long-lost past?
