The Room Where Mama Prayed. This item is unavailable.The Room Where Mama Prayed

In Willow's Crossing, the past doesn't stay buried.
It waits.

Mara Greene thought she had already faced the worst of it-the restless spirits of Willow Street and the secrets hidden inside Mount Zion Baptist Church. But nothing has prepared her for the truth waiting inside her grandmother's house... or the room no one will talk about.

Twelve years ago, Mara's mother died in a car accident.
That's the story the town told.
That's the story her family accepted.

But every night at 3:17 a.m., the house tells a different one.

The clock stops.
The air fills with the scent of gardenias.
And the room where her mother once prayed begins to stir with something unseen.

Drawn by her gift-and the growing sense that something isn't right-Mara is pulled into a mystery rooted in grief, silence, and spiritual fear. As memories resurface and the presence in the house grows stronger, she begins to realize that what happened the night her mother died was never fully understood... and never truly laid to rest.

In a town where faith and fear have always walked hand in hand, Mara must confront the truth her family buried-and the spirit that refuses to be ignored.

Because some hauntings aren't meant to harm.
Some are meant to reveal.

And some truths demand to be spoken-no matter the cost.
