A Foundation of Belief

"One minute I was laughing out loud. The next, I felt like crying. But the whole time I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next."

"A Foundation of Belief" is a heart-pounding, who-done-it mystery wrapped up in the most incredible love story you've ever heard."

Magnolia Cleary, a beautiful middle-aged African-American woman, sits in the local sheriff's office with her hair a mess and bandages on arm and forehead. With tears leaving tracks through the dirt and grime on her face, she struggles to recount what happened.

From her horrible childhood growing up imprisoned under an abusive warden of a mother, Magnolia finally finds happiness in a boy from the other side of the tracks from her rural, one-traffic light town in southern, North Carolina. Magnolia grabs hold of that love and vows never to let it go no matter what life, death, destruction, murder and a few maniacs have to do with it.

Join Magnolia on the journey as she tells the story of a love that transcends the boundaries of time, distance and life and death, all the while trying to get to the bottom of a murder mystery. That is, if there was a murder.
