Who left the baby at the Rock of Ages Baptist Church?
Randall Mackey has a secret. He knows who left the baby on the steps of the Rock of Ages Baptist Church. But, he can't tell anyone, not even his best friend, Jaybird. And, he certainly can't let Jaybird's little sister, Althea, find out because she'd be sure to shout it from the rooftops. Randall can't tell because Queenie Avery was also there, and he wants to protect her. Poor old Queenie seems to be getting more and more forgetful these days. And, now that she's begun to wander, folks in town want to send her away, which would break Mr. Avery's heart. While Randall's busy worrying about doing the right thing, everyone in town is discussing who should take care of baby Moses, and it isn't long before a feud breaks out. Randall has to come up with a plan that won't hurt those he most wants to help. And, he's got to do it quickly before the situation gets completely out of control.
