The Shepherd's Compass

He clawed his way to the top. But it was a hollow victory.

Ethan Hart has it all: a dazzling legal career, a corner office with a panoramic view, and a win record that strikes fear into his opponents. But when a ruthless manoeuvre destroys a family business, the public outcry shatters his carefully constructed world. Suspended and disgraced, Ethan is left with nothing but the chilling echo of an ancient question: What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

His escape lies in a forgotten inheritance.

His only legacy from his reclusive mother is a deed to a dying Appalachian town called Havenwood Hollow and a cryptic, tarnished compass that points nowhere on earth. Seeking refuge, Ethan arrives to find a community on the brink of extinction, crushed by poverty and a looming corporate threat that feels hauntingly familiar.

To find his future, he must decipher his past.

Guided by his mother's secret journal and the quiet faith of the townspeople, Ethan is forced to confront the man he's become. The Shepherd's Compass, he discovers, doesn't point north. It points toward truth. Toward redemption. Toward a love he never expected. And toward a battle for the soul of the town that could cost him everything he has left.

In the quiet heart of the mountains, a lost lawyer will learn that the most important victories aren't won in the courtroom, but in the courage to open your heart and follow where it leads.

A powerful and inspirational story of redemption, faith, and finding your true purpose where you least expect it.
