Hidden Treasure

Welcome to the small town of Chinkapin, Georgia, where recently-divorced Laurie Lanton is starting her new life in a warmer climate. To keep her mind off her ex, Laurie joins Mary and the other volunteers at the Treasure Chest, a charity thrift shop run by 'St. Mark's Across from the Tasty Chick.' Anything can happen at the Treasure Chest - and does. Two robberies, a leaky roof, and an invasion of mice give Laurie plenty to think about. But a couple of new men have also caught her eye. First, there's Chase, the interesting and talented musician from St. Mark's choir. He sure is easy to be with, but there's something in his past no one wants to talk about. And just when things are heating up between them, Laurie overhears something that throws their future into doubt. And what about Jeff, the new painting instructor at the local arts center? He has a few secrets of his own, including something he's discovered about an old painting at the thrift shop. Laurie soon learns how important the Treasure Chest is to her community. When calamity threatens to close it down, will her 'super power' be enough to save it? And if not, what will happen to St. Mark's? "A heart-warming story about friends, faith, and community."
