Professor Lange, a world-renowned mathematician, and his father, a respected Baptist minister, lived in two very different worlds. One was a world of academia and science, the other of faith. Those worlds miraculously merged one fateful day when the father, in a desperate attempt to connect with his son, issued a challenge. Although skeptical, the professor agreed to test his father's claim that there were embedded codes in the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament that, when discovered, would reveal amazing details about significant events throughout history. Due to the father's untimely and tragic death, he would never know that his simple challenge would someday end in one of the most amazing discoveries in the history of mankind--a discovery of cosmic proportions that could forever change the trajectory of the human race. Nor would the father ever see that what started as an attempt to bridge the gap between his world and the world of his son would result in suspense, intrigue, wild chases, and an international manhunt that would lead from the mountains of western North Carolina to the Temple Mount in Israel. Along the way, the professor learned an important lesson. It was not the phenomenal discoveries that had the greatest impact on the professor's life. It was the journey itself. A journey that started in his world and ended in the world his father embraced. One that started in a world predicated on cynicism and unbelief and ended in a world of faith and promise.

Chinelo, or Nelo as her best friend Kate calls her, is all about her neighborhood Ginger East. She loves its chill vibe, ride-or-die sense of community, and the memories she has growing up there with her friends. Ginger East isn't what it used to be though. After a deadly incident at the local arcade, most of her friends' families moved away. Kate, whose family owns the local corner store, is still there and as long as that stays constant, Nelo's good. When Kate's parent's store is vandalized and the vandal still at large, Nelo is shaken to her core. And then the police and the media get involved and more of the outside world descends upon Ginger East with promises to "fix the neighborhood." Suddenly, Nelo finds herself in the middle of a drama unfolding on a national scale. Worse yet, Kate is acting strange. She's pushing Nelo away at the exact moment they need each other most. Now Nelo's entire world is morphing into something she hates and she must figure out how to get things back on track or risk losing everything--and everyone--she loves.
