For twelve years, librarian Lilly Cooper has been Weyport's keeper of secrets, collecting whispered confessions like others collect books. But when she discovers a mysterious diary among donated volumes, she finds herself holding a secret that could shatter her coastal town's carefully maintained facade.
The diary belongs to a dead woman. The words inside point to corruption reaching from Weyport's quiet streets to Boston's highest offices. And someone is willing to kill to keep those words buried.
As bodies surface and witnesses disappear, Sheriff Angus Reid knows this is more than a small-town mystery. With help from his team—including a determined forensic expert and a deputy who never misses—he must unravel a conspiracy that threatens everything he's sworn to protect.
But for Lilly, the danger runs deeper than physical threats. Each revelation forces her to question everything she believes about belonging, truth, and redemption. In a town built on buried secrets, she must decide: continue collecting whispers, or finally start speaking truth.
Like a vine breaking through concrete, truth finds a way. But some vines have thorns, and not everyone survives when light pierces darkness.
From award-winning author Urcelia Teixeira comes a gripping Christian mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Blending atmospheric suspense with deep spiritual themes, LILLY'S VINE explores the price of truth and the power of divine timing.
