In Faith

About this book

Book 6 - In FaithJames Archer signed his name in 1851 and wrote two words beneath it: in faith. He had no way of knowing how far that faith would have to travel.On a Saturday morning in December, Joseph Archer drives thirty miles to Millville. He walks into the fellowship hall of the church his family left behind a hundred and seventy-four years ago. He sees the Bible on the table from across the room and stops. He is not ready to touch it yet.That is how this ends: not with a discovery, but with a return. The Archer family Bible is home. The county historical record will be complete. A bronze marker is going up between the oldest oaks in the spring - the oaks Solomon Archer chose in 1828 because he understood that old oaks outlast most things. And Frances Alderman Cross, eighty-two years old, is driving in from Columbus to stand where her grandmother's promise was finally kept.Four kids opened the wrong door in a church hallway two years ago. This is where it brought them.In Faith is the sixth book in the Millville Mysteries and the conclusion of the Archer/Croft arc - a mystery series for middle-grade readers set in a small Ohio town where history has a way of refusing to stay buried. Each book stands on its own, but readers who have followed from the beginning will find everything they've been waiting for.
