Vincent Watkins, his wife Mariah, along with their three children have life by the horns and appear to have things under control as they are the self-proclaimed King and Queen of the city. Unfortunately Brent Benjamin, who is Mariah's boss and Vince's business partner, has his eyes on the throne and has plans to make the crown his own. With money, power, and respect up for grabs; the foot soldiers, feeling less important always become cut throats.

Very few knew the many bridges burned on Vince's travel to the top, which never posed a problem until now. Not prepared for his world to crumble nor his business to fail, Vince must save the souls of his family, make amends with Mariah, and face the most morally vile decision he's ever had to make. A man will do anything to protect his family and will stop at nothing to protect his legacy. But as he soon finds out, sometimes blood isn't thicker than water. As history seems to repeat itself, Vince and Mariah learn that with death comes life and from life comes death. Nothing is ever as it seems in South Carolina when your last name is Watkins.

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.
