In the Shadow of the Cross
Saving her life was not enough . . .
Mama Jo’s Market sits at the edge of a two-lane road outside of Pell City where pine trees crowd close and mornings feel older than time itself. It’s the kind of rural Alabama convenience store locals rely on—hand painted signs, a squeaky screen door, and gas pumps that have seen more summers than most of the customers who use them.
Lucas Bonham stands beside his small car, pumping gas in late afternoon, grateful for the stillness and the end of a stressful day.
But stillness doesn’t last.
As Lucas watches the numbers climb on the pump, something across the lot catches his eye—something off, something wrong. His pulse shifts. Whatever is happening isn’t just unsettling; it’s dangerous.
And what does a devout Christian man do?
Certainly not look the other way.
In the shadow of the cross, Lucas Bonham steps forward, then confronts evil first-hand on the shores of the Coosa River in Talladega County.
Discover what Lucas witnessed at Mama Jo’s.

Two Alabama believers.
Two truths.
One God in control.
Snow in Alabama doesn’t just fall; it shuts the world down. One freak winter
storm is all it takes to silence highways, close churches, strand travelers, and turn familiar backroads into white, impassable ribbons. Elise Farmington knows this all too well as she peers out the frosted window of the remote Shelby County trailer she never intended to stay in. The storm has crippled everything: sound, movement, escape. She’s trapped.
And she’s not alone.
David Stetson stands behind her, arms folded, jaw tight, watching the snowfall with the same unease. Two devout Christians, complete strangers, stranded together in forced isolation, yet neither trusting the other. The storm may have locked them in, but suspicion keeps them farther apart than the miles of frozen countryside outside.
As the temperature drops and the world beyond the trailer disappears beneath a blanket of white, Elise and David face a truth neither wants to admit:
Sometimes the greatest danger isn’t the storm outside,
but the person you’re trapped with inside.
