The Cowbird's Song - Paperback
Description
by Markko (Author)
In "The Cowbird's Song," award winning author Joe Markko draws you into 1795 England where a small society of Methodists known as the Shiloh Covenant board the good ship Aurora with hymnbook courage and a covenant stitched tight as sailcloth.
From that bold beginning rises Shiloh Mills, a town carved into the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Across generations, its people mark life by the rhythm of devotion-river baptisms, candlelit weddings, weathered funerals and the hard, holy labor of those who believe God is present in the ordinary work of human hands.
But every sanctuary has a shadow.
A single heart, quietly unmoored, nurtures a monstrous religious delusion, hiding it behind Scripture. When the righteous begin to call evil good, devotion becomes camouflage, trust becomes a weapon, and innocence becomes prey. In this sweeping blend of historical fiction, suspense and young adult intensity, one secret threatens to rot the very covenant that built an entire town.
