Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when the altar you built demands your very life as the sacrifice?To thousands of believers who pack the arena-style auditorium of Mount Moriah Christian Fellowship, she is "First Lady Grace"-an immaculate vision of poise, anointing, and unshakeable domestic order. Draped in structured ivory suits and framed by stadium key lights, she stands beside her charismatic husband, Senior Pastor Marcus Jones, as the co-architect of a multi-million-pound spiritual empire.Beneath the television makeup and tailored crepe lies Liana Margaret Henderson: a woman quietly coming apart at the seams.Behind the executive suites, high-definition cameras, and apostolic grandiosity, Mount Moriah is fueled by financial acrobatics, leveraged debts, and systemic spiritual abuse. For twenty-four years, Liana's childhood trauma and hyper-vigilance have been baptized as "spiritual gifts," commodified to protect Marcus's fragile ego and maintain donor confidence. But when an illicit eighty-four-thousand-pound escrow transfer pushes her central nervous system into dissociative blackout, her survival instincts collide head-on with the holy machinery.Refusing to sign away her sanity to preserve a crumbling brand, Liana cuts through the velvet straightjacket of ministerial protocol. What follows is a raw, devastating, and deeply redemptive journey of deconstruction. Fleeing the high-stakes boardroom battles of the Cotswolds for an unadorned cottage and the cold, salt winds of the Northumbrian coast, Liana and Marcus must confront a terrifying truth: God never asked for dressed stone. He was waiting in the quiet all along.A piercing, emotionally charged exploration of religious trauma, identity theft, and authentic reclamation, this novel is an unforgettable invitation for anyone who has ever carried an impossible mantle to lay down the chisel and finally return home to themselves.
