The Deacon’s Choice (Lancaster Hearts Book 9)

Two men. Two faiths. One choice for the soul of the valley.

The Choice for a New Deacon Divides the Community, But a Long-Buried Tragedy Reveals the True Motive Behind One Candidate’s Unbending Faith

When the community’s beloved deacon steps down, two men emerge as his likely successor: Daniel Fisher, a symbol of grace, and Isaac Kurtz, a champion of strict tradition. Their opposing philosophies divide the valley. As the conflict escalates, a heartbreaking secret from Isaac’s past is revealed—the tragic death of his estranged son—exposing that his rigid faith is not about power, but a desperate penance born of a father’s inconsolable grief.

Their division is a test of faith. The truth is a test of grace.
