Linda Phillips

The Librarian, the Firefighters, and the Arsonist Linda Phillips

She walked up to the door, unlocked it, and began to enter, but froze standing just outside her door. It was getting dark outside, but the darkness inside her house was black as tar and suffocating. She felt a sudden panic of fear, gasping, trying to breathe. She stood there staring into her house (that she loved so much), but felt an evil presence, everything inside her telling her to turn and run. Then she felt like she couldn't catch her breath and thought she was seeing a blanket of black darkness moving around her house. Twila, a young adult librarian, feels she is being haunted by her past, and also, dealing with the possibility of a slow-going romance. Caleb, Twila's brother's best friend since childhood, finds himself involved with a gorgeous woman that no one seems to trust or like.
The thought of living in utopia has changed dramatically for the town of Cornerstone, NC. A series of strange, maybe supernatural fires have wreaked havoc on this too-good-to-be-true town, taking the life of their beloved Obadiah. All that is happening creates some serious and silly discussions of families and friends on current events and causes them to evaluate their own Christian characteristics, realizing the majority of Christians have lost those characteristics described in the Bible and have been wrongfully judgmental to their own brothers and sisters in the Lord. Will Cornerstone lose their faith in God or will they seek Him even more?
