Two days can feel like an eternity when hope is buried in a tomb.
Seventeen-year-old Addie is done with blind faith. After a year of unanswered prayers and a devastating loss, she trusts cold facts more than comforting promises. In the quiet halls of a museum, history makes sense. It is silent, unchanging, and certain.
But everything changes when she touches a cracked limestone ossuary-and is pulled two thousand years into the past.
Stranded in ancient Jerusalem during the darkest hours in history, Addie is taken in by a grieving woman named Mary Magdalene. As fear grips the disciples and the city trembles with uncertainty, Addie carries a secret that could change everything: she knows the tomb will be empty on Sunday.
Yet knowing the ending doesn't make the waiting easier.
To find her way home, Addie must confront more than danger, doubt, and the weight of history. She must learn to survive the unbearable silence between loss and hope-the long, aching Saturday of the soul.
In this powerful and emotionally resonant time-slip novel, The Shadow of the Empty Room explores grief, faith, doubt, and the quiet miracle that happens in the darkness before the light returns.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Faith-inspired fiction
- Emotional coming-of-age stories
- Time-slip historical novels
- Stories about grief, healing, and hope
- Thought-provoking spiritual journeys
Because sometimes the greatest miracle isn't the stone moving...
It's what happens while we wait.
