The Girls of Ebele House

Maya Jean Calloway has never been the kind of girl who expected castles, inheritances, or happily-ever-afters. In fact, her idea of a miracle was usually just making it through Monday without something breaking.

Then Mama Ada dies unexpectedly and leaves Maya and her two foster sisters, Nadine Tremblay and Yara Vega, something they never saw coming: an enormous, abandoned estate with a history they know nothing about.

The only problem? They didn’t even know Mama Ada owned it.

With instructions to finish what she started, Maya moves into the forgotten Whitaker Estate and discovers the old mansion is far more than peeling wallpaper, creaky floors, and a suspicious number of rooms she’s afraid to explore alone. Built in the 1800s, the house holds stories hidden within its walls; stories that began in 1858 when a forbidden love, family secrets, and unexpected choices changed the course of the Whitaker family forever.

As Maya, Nadine, and Yara work to restore the estate into the beautiful Mercy House Inn Bed & Breakfast, they uncover hidden letters, secret passages, and pieces of a past that somehow feel strangely connected to their own lives. Along the way, Maya finds herself facing another unexpected surprise: a handsome contractor named Grant Buskin, who seems determined to help restore more than just an old house.

With plenty of laughter, a little chaos, and more than a few moments when Maya wonders if she’s in over her head, the three sisters discover that Mama Ada’s gift was never just about a mansion. It was about purpose, belonging, and a future they never imagined possible.

Because God has a way of taking the forgotten and making it beautiful.

He can take a girl with no past, no family name, and no idea where she belongs, and give her a future filled with love, blessings, and a legacy she never knew was waiting for her.

Welcome to Ebele House, where old secrets are uncovered, new memories are made, and three foster sisters discover they were never forgotten after all.
