In the small town of Canaan, Texas, Helen Troy, an outspoken, forty-something widow, has her hands full running her real estate business, serving on various community and church organizations and playing match-maker to her pretty twenty-four year old niece, Malesa Davis. But when Malesa finds the dead body of the church librarian floating in the baptistery, they both become involved in a murder investigation and scandal that could rock the First Baptist Church right off its foundations.
