The
Keeping
A novel by Warwick Howlett
Novel on the way.
Some stories are doors.
For twenty years, Sarah has lived a life of quiet discipline in a remote valley, her world shaped by her mother's chilling warning: some stories are doors, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
The lineage she carries is not a story for telling. It is a secret for keeping.
But the stories her mother feared are walking the roads, carried by zealous preachers who speak of a man who died and rose again.
As their words take root, turning her quiet village into a place of fervent suspicion, a stonemason named Eliab begins to notice the woman on the hill in a way no one ever has.
When an impossible pregnancy confirms the truth of her inheritance, Sarah is caught between the simple, human love she has found with Eliab and the devastating secret that could make her child the most hunted person in the world.
A secret worth protecting.
Hunted by protectors, believers, and enemies, Sarah must decide what she is willing to risk for a life she can finally call her own.
