2022 Carol Award Winner!
An inspiring southern fiction story from the bestselling author of War Room
When eccentric millionaire Gideon Quidley receives a divine revelation to hide his earthly treasure somewhere in the hills, he sets out to find a fitting hiding spot, choosing only a few Bible verses as clues leading to untold riches of gold, silver, cash . . . and one very unexpected—and very costly—item.

Treasure hunters descend upon the hills of West Virginia, including those surrounding the small town of Emmaus, where TD Lovett and Waite Evers provide the latest updates and the beating heart of the community on radio station Country 16. Neither man is much interested in a wild-goose chase for Quidley’s treasure, though. Waite is busy keeping the station afloat and caring for the bruised souls who have landed there. Meanwhile, TD’s more intent on winning over local junkyard owner Pidge Bledsoe, who has taken in a shy, wounded boy to raise.

But after an estranged friend goes missing searching for the treasure, TD is unexpectedly drawn into the hunt. As TD joins the race to find Quidley’s wealth, he discovers where his own real treasure lies, and he begins to suspect there’s a hidden piece to Gideon Quidley’s treasure that no one could’ve expected.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Fabry (War Room) delivers a powerful story of faith and the material things people hold dear. After millionaire Gideon Quidley’s wife dies in 1974, Gideon feels led by God to hide all of his gold and silver―as well as thousands in cash―in a custom-built ark, bury it in the hills outside of Emmaus, W.Va., and leave only a list of cryptic Bible verses as clues to finding the treasure. . . . Local radio broadcaster TD Lovett gets involved in the treasure hunt after his friend and local pastor Robby Gardner goes missing during his search. . . . The winding narrative, which follows TD’s transformation from unwelcoming skeptic to enthusiastic believer, elevates themes of community and faith in God’s plan. This is Fabry’s best yet. Publishers Weekly

Every title by Fabry (Borders of the Heart) draws readers into the story with clear, honest writing in a similar style to Charles Martin and Lynn Austin. The rural South comes to life, with themes of forgiveness and second chances as highlights. The characters are both deeply flawed and immensely relatable, making this another hit for Fabry. Library Journal

Review

Wonderful! Full of believable characters, forgiveness, redemption, suspense, a great sense of “place”―not to mention a great playlist and quotable wisdom. All I could hope for in a great escape! Jeff Taylor of The Time Jumpers band

A Piece of the Moon represents what I love most about fiction: the ability a novel has to transport you to another place in time. Fabry’s voice as a writer is engaging and dripping with charm and nostalgia. It took me back to the years of small radio stations and the earthy music of the old days. The fact that it comes with its own playlist is a brilliant way to reintroduce some of the great music of the past to new audience. A fantastic story written by an absolute treasure of a human being. I highly recommend A Piece of the Moon (and by the way, isn’t that a great title!). Cindy Morgan, author and Grammy nominee

Chris Fabry has done it again! If you’re looking to have fun and you like country, this is the story for you. The characters jump off the pages and into your heart and you’ll be smiling at what they said and what they did for weeks to come. Each chapter is full of people you would just swear you know from your own hometown! Don Reid, The Statler Brothers

A Piece of the Moon has it all. Quirky, endearing characters. A rich story arc full of surprises. Lines so funny you'll want to read them aloud to anybody within earshot. And a ten-der thread of redemption that runs from first page to last. Spending time with Waite and TD and Clay and Pidge and all the other folks in Emmaus was pure joy. The best novel I've read in ages. Liz Curtis Higgs, NYT bestselling author of Mine Is the Night

All my stories are prayers from a wounded heart. As you enter each one, I hope you’ll sense that struggle and pain and questions are not just part of life but part of how you can be drawn deeper into it. A Piece of the Moon is the book I’ve waited more than 40 years to write. It combines my love for radio with a quirky cast of characters who need a second chance in a world that judges and marginalizes. There’s also a faith angle to the story that leads to a mystery to solve. I hope it sings in your soul.

Many of my stories are set in my home state of West Virginia. I was born there in 1961. I caught the writing bug early, but didn’t have a vision or encouragement for my words until much later. I wrote a lot of children’s books in the late 1990s and had my first novel for adults, Dogwood, published in 2008. It received a Christy Award in 2009.

Then came June Bug, a novel loosely based on Les Miserables. Almost Heaven released next and won a Christy Award, as well as the 2011 Christian Book Award for Fiction.

Not in the Heart also received a Christy Award. Borders of the Heart followed our move to Tucson, Arizona. Every Waking Moment and its sequel, Looking Into You, were award winners as well. The Promise of Jesse Woods was a coming-of-age tale again set in West Virginia. Then, my 80th published book, Under a Cloudless Sky, was set on Beulah Mountain, WV.

In 2018, I was honored to be inducted into the Christy Award Hall of Fame as a five-time award recipient for my work in Christian fiction.

I've also crafted four novels based on screenplays. The Song, War Room, Overcomer, and Lifemark were written for the screen and I helped bring them to the page.

I am a graduate of the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2019. I have been married to Andrea since 1982. We have nine children and we now live near Tucson, AZ.

A Piece of the Moon has one flaw: it isn't a ten-volume series, as readers deserve.

A Piece of the Moon has one flaw: it isn't a ten-volume series, as readers deserve.
Absolutely loved getting to meet and grow to love the characters Chris Fabry brought to life in A Piece of the Moon.His many layered stories gave me hours of joy, frustration, hope and despair before I finally invested a beautiful afternoon on my deck to sate my curiosity about what would happen to my new friends.Every page of A Piece of the Moon was worth my time. My only true regret? "All good things must come to an end," including the finite pages of Chris's fabulous tales in this masterpiece.

Chris Fabry has a talent for making his characters relatable to our experiences and also to our faith walks. A bonus for me is the WV setting, a visit to my home.
