From USA Today bestselling author Jackie Weger and author Jerri Hines comes a powerful southern saga. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this gripping page-turning mystery will have you reading through the night.

August 1943. While war rages overseas, darkness descends on the Appalachian town of Oak Flatt. When the revival tent arrives, the faithful seek salvation—but Cady Blue comes haunted by the bells only she hears. Thought slow by many, Cady sees what others ignore: a missing child, a suspicious death, and a town steeped in secrets. War hero Matt Pritchard may be her ally—or the man hiding the deadliest truth.

With haunting echoes of Harper Lee and William Faulkner, The Waking Bell is a Southern gothic mystery laced with grit, grace, and an unforgettable voice.
