A former minister discovers his true calling lies far from the pulpit—and closer to his family's mystical legacy than he ever imagined. Ray Stevenson thought he was leaving his old life behind when he abandoned his ministry on Chicago's South Side. After years of sleepless nights questioning his faith and growing uncomfortable with the unusual effects his private counseling sessions had on female parishioners, he walked away from Reverend Stevenson and became just Ray—a man searching for purpose in the Nevada desert. The timely letter from his elderly aunts, Dolores and Minnie, seemed like divine intervention. They needed help with repairs and "business matters" at the sprawling Victorian house that had sheltered three generations of his family. Ray expected leaky faucets and dusty attics. Instead, he finds a steady stream of well-dressed women arriving at the ornate front door, each one leaving transformed in ways that both fascinate and unnerve him.
