Description
A haunting tale of love, loss, and redemption.
“Markert's latest supernatural novel is captivating from the beginning… Readers of Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker will love Markert's newest release.” - 4 STARS, RT Book Reviews
In the wake of World War I in the small, Southern town of Bellhaven, South Carolina, the town folk believe they’ve found a little slice of heaven in a mysterious chapel in the woods. But they soon realize that evil can come in the most beautiful of forms.
The people of Bellhaven have always looked to Ellsworth Newberry for guidance, but after losing his wife and his future as a professional pitcher, he is moments away from testing his mortality once and for all. Until he finally takes notice of the changes in his town . . . and the cardinals that have returned.
Upon the discovery of a small chapel deep in the Bellhaven woods, healing seems to fall upon the townspeople, bringing peace after several years of mourning. But as they visit the “healing floor” more frequently, the people begin to turn on one another, and the unusually tolerant town becomes anything but.
The cracks between the natural and supernatural begin to widen, and tensions rise. Before the town crumbles, Ellsworth must pull himself from the brink of suicide, overcome his demons, and face the truth of who he was born to be by leading the town into the woods to face the evil threatening Bellhaven.

This book is a fabulous story of loss and hope that starts as a post war telling of how the first world war affected a group of returning soldiers from the American South. However as it unfolds the mystical nature of what lies behind the yellow painted trees is revealed. It is complex and heartbreaking with characters that develop until the tragic conclusion. a five star read and the best book I have read so far. If you enjoyed the Essex Serpent you will enjoy this too.

What a great story!
Richly descripted characters and settings.
The chapel in the woods and the 'healing floor' seem like a slice of heaven to the townspeople of Bellhaven...but slowly turns the people malicious. The turn in the story reminds me of Stephen Kings needful things! If you've read it you know what I mean :)
