Walking on Brimstone

by Dan Raburn

“When you face the demons in life that try your soul, it’s like walking on brimstone.”Her grandfather’s words come home to her as Millie Holder’s world disintegrates in one horrific summer. Her favorite uncle is found dead, her fiancé disappears, and her beloved grandmother reveals a long-kept secret that will test everything she believes about life . . . and afterlife.Daughter of popular televangelist Paul Holder, Millie works in her father’s church and is engaged to its charismatic youth minister, Harry Stopheles—but the Harry she knew has changed. He’s driving a BMW on a 30K salary and has developed alarming ambitions and a taste for expensive scotch. But when her father learns she’s having Harry investigated, he calls in a psychiatrist to evaluate her mental state. Millie finds herself desperately alone with her suspicions, except for one confidante, a detective in the Nashville Police Department who believes her—and together they set out to trap and unmask her rogue fiancé. But behind the mystery of her murdered uncle and missing fiancé is an ongoing quest of the heart. After her grandmother’s shocking revelation, Millie seeks to discover the truth about faith and the family business, and what she learns will change the course of her life.
