Synopsis

Ameena "Broadway" Mimms returns to her Alabama hometown penniless and disgraced. On this fateful Sunday, she's at rock bottom, tears streaming as she praises in petition to God when out of nowhere, a grewsome scene begins to unfold. Masked gunmen storm the sanctuary.
 
Of all people, one man holds his gun to Ameena's head; oddly, he seems eerily familiar. Associate Pastor Will, despite his unrequited love for Ameena, chances his own life to shield her, bearing his chest to the gun barrel. Up at the altar, Bishop Simon peers into the slits of another gunman's mask and recognizes the eyes of his estranged son.
 
Soon, bodies are being carted off and there is a community in mourning. The ensuing investigation exposes the grotesque scandal and sets in motion the collision course of four believers who fight to expose truths, face demons, hide guilt, and frame the innocent, but it is God who has the finally say.
 
If you like compelling characters and edge-of-your-seats reads, dive in right now. Learn the identity of the man behind the mask. Witness how God will show up and make crooked ways straight, and find out what generational curse has Ameena in such bondage that she would reject a good man like Will - or is there yet hope for them?
 
Trigger Warning: although The Waymaker is, by definition, Christian fiction it contains quite a bit of graphic violence, though within the scope of tragedy. Violence is not glorified nor celebrated in any way.
