In the quiet Southern town of Shiloh, Georgia, newcomers Theo and Liddy Phillips are welcomed with warm smiles, homemade casseroles, and a generous dose of curiosity. Shiloh is the kind of small town where church bells mark the hours, neighbors know your business, and history lingers on every corner.
But one story casts a long shadow-a tragic courthouse fire that took the life of beloved coach Jessie Masterson, a man whose heroism saved others but left unanswered questions.
As a retired publisher, Theo can't ignore the pull of the untold story. With Liddy by his side, he finds himself drawn into Shiloh's close-knit community, uncovering layers of friendship, faith, and guarded truths. What they discover will test loyalties, stir old wounds, and reveal the quiet strength that holds a town together.
For fans of Jan Karon, Fannie Flagg, and Richard Paul Evans, Sanctuary: A Legacy of Memories is a heartfelt tale of Southern fiction, small-town drama, and the enduring power of faith and remembrance.
Besides capturing the pace and feel of a small Southern town perfectly, Brown peoples it with well-developed characters. Readers will look forward to Theo's further adventures. - BookLife, Publisher's Weekly
"Here's a mystery almost all of us can dig our teeth into, especially those born and bred in Small Southern Town, USA. As those good-ol-boys like to say, things get curiouser and curiouser, so pull up a chair and settle back for an old-fashioned whodunit..." -- Jedwin Smith, acclaimed author of Fatal Treasure and Our Brother's Keeper
"When T. M. Brown used the descriptor, 'a couple of Southern minutes, ' I knew I was in for a treat. Only a writer with personal experience in a small town could define so many characters so intricately..." -- Linda J. Pifer, author of Ohio Girl and Windows trilogy
