The Key Beneath the Chapel Steps (Book 23)

Beneath the weathered steps of Willow Creek Community Church, a forgotten key lies hidden for fifty years—waiting for the right moment to be found.

When bookstore owner Rebecca Lawson discovers the old brass key during a church renovation project, she expects it to unlock a long-lost room or a piece of local history. Instead, it opens the door to a remarkable story of faith, forgiveness, and a promise that has quietly shaped generations.

With the help of her friends, Rebecca follows a trail of journals, letters, photographs, and hidden records that lead back to two families whose lives were forever changed by a painful misunderstanding. As long-buried memories come to light, the people of Willow Creek uncover a testimony of God's grace powerful enough to heal old wounds and unite hearts across decades.

But the greatest discovery isn't the secret itself—it's the faithfulness of a God who never stops working, even when His plans unfold over a lifetime.

Filled with warmth, hope, and small-town charm, The Key Beneath the Chapel Steps is an uplifting Christian cozy mystery about legacy, reconciliation, and the enduring power of forgiveness. Perfect for readers who enjoy heartwarming stories, unforgettable characters, and reminders that God's grace can transform even the most broken chapters into something beautiful.
