Sinossi

2024 Christy Award Winner 
 
A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls. 
 
In 1870, orphaned Daisy François takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric Gothic authoress who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in her novels. As women disappear from the area and the eerie circumstances seem to parallel a local legend, Daisy is thrust into a web that could ultimately steal her sanity, if not her life. 
 
In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman's stash of collectibles, a century-old mystery and the dust of the old castle's curse threaten to rise again . . . this time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid tale. 
 
Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the light amid the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau. 
 
"An imaginative and mysterious tale."--New York Times bestselling author RACHEL HAUCK 
 
"Jaime Jo Wright never disappoints, and The Vanishing at Castle Moreau is no exception. With real, flawed characters who grapple with real-life struggles, this gripping suspense novel will draw readers in from the very first page. Good luck putting it down. I couldn't."--LYNETTE EASON, bestselling author of the Extreme Measures series

    People are obsessed with life; no one wants to die. In fact, we are scared to death of dying.Most of us are familiar with the saying, "You only live once." But we have to ask ourselves an all-important question: What happens to us after we die?For most people, death is either a great mystery or a subject of great denial. However, the fact remains – we all die. What if this life is not all there is? What if there actually is life after death? If so, who can tell us what happens after we die? Because of His firsthand experience in heaven and His knowledge of the future, Jesus can. He presents us with three basic truths about the subject of life after death:1.	There is life after death.2.	There are two destinations from which everyone must choose.3.	There is a way to ensure you make the right choice.Right now, you may be dying of thirst, but you don't have to perish in your thirst. Likewise, you may be overcome with sin, but you don’t have to die in your sins. There is something you can do, right now, to ensure that when you die, you will have everlasting life and happiness.The most important thing you must do in this life is to make sure you don't die in your sins.God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. – John 3:17 (NLT)

    I must survive. For Dr. Bickel’s sake, I must survive. 
    Weakened by the nanomites’ drain, Gemma flees from General Cushing’s renewed pursuit. She finds temporary refuge in Dr. Bickel’s vacant safe house - refuge and time for her body to recover from the damage inflicted by the nanomites. 
    But how does an invisible woman with no identity survive in a visible world? 
    While the nanomites search for Dr. Bickel (intent upon facilitating his rescue), Gemma appropriates a new identity and, piece by piece, secures a tenuous foothold in the real world that allows her to move about unnoticed. To Gemma’s amazement and grave misgivings, the nanomites, who had previously withstood her every overture, show themselves to be her allies. 
    Or are they? 
    The struggle for control is on.

    Finding Joy in Suffering. Quite a title right? Usually you wouldn’t think that joy and suffering would exist together. But in my life, they have. I’ve experienced great suffering and loss early on in my life, and many have asked me how I continue to put a smile on my face having lived through what I have. Ever since I was a kid, my response has been, “I don’t know, it’s because of Jesus.” For a while, I couldn’t understand why I had joy in my heart after my mother died. But I knew that God was providing joy in ways that I couldn’t begin to explain. Even now, so many years later, I can still say that I have joy in my seasons of suffering.My story has been shaped by the loss of two of my parents. My birth mother died after a long battle with cancer when I was 12, and my adopted dad died from a fatal car accident when I was 25. I’ve suffered from depression for many years, and struggled with suicide and self-harm. I’ve struggled with my mental health, a number of insecurities, and ongoing fears of rejection and abandonment. You name it, I, or someone I know, has struggled and suffered through something. I bet you have suffered in some way, shape, or form at least once in your life. Everyone suffers. No matter how small or large, insignificant or grand, you have suffered.This book may not teach you how to avoid suffering, because we can’t avoid suffering. But it will teach you how to walk through it, and how to walk alongside someone else through theirs. Suffering is an unfortunate part of this world, and we will all experience some kind of suffering. But in order to do life on this earth (and find the joy in it), we need to first acknowledge and accept our suffering, and then get to know the One who suffered more than all of us. Jesus. And only then, will we be able to find a reason to have joy in the midst of our suffering.

    The longtime chief marketing officer for Chick-fil-A tells the inside story of how the company turned prevailing theories of fast-food marketing upside down and built one of the most successful and beloved brands in America. 
    During his thirty-four-year tenure at Chick-fil-A, Steve Robinson was integrally involved in the company’s growth--from 184 stores and $100 million in annual sales in 1981 to more than 2,100 stores and more than $6.8 billion in annual sales in 2015--and was a firsthand witness to its evolution as an indelible global brand. In Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A, Robinson shares behind-the-scenes accounts of key moments, including the creation of the Chick-fil-A corporate purpose and the formation and management of the now-iconic "Eat Mor Chikin" cow campaign.  
    Drawing on his personal interactions with the gifted team of company leaders, restaurant operators, and the company's founder, Truett Cathy, Robinson explains the important traits that built the company's culture and sustained it through recession and many other challenges. He also reveals how every aspect of the company's approach reflects an unwavering dedication to Christian values and to the individual customer experience. Written with disarming candor and revealing storytelling, Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A is the never-before-told story of a great American success.
