               As pastor of Greenville, SC’s Triune Mercy Center from 2005 to 2020, Deb Richardson-Moore watched the gentrification that transformed the neighborhoods around the church and around nearby Unity Park. She uses this setting for the fictional Southern city Greenbrier in her newest release, Through Any Window.

                Riley Masterson has moved to her cousin’s home in South Carolina, eager to escape the chaos that has overwhelmed her life. Questioned in a murder in Alabama, she has spent eighteen months under suspicion by a sheriff’s office unable to make an arrest.

            But things in Greenbrier are not as they seem. Her cousin has an ulterior motive for inviting Riley into her home, and pieces of Riley’s past shadow her. As she struggles to forge a new life, forces gather in the tension-plagued neighborhood where homeless people live in the shadows of glitzy new homes and crumbling mill houses.  

            When murder explodes, someone unexpected is caught in the crossfire. Detectives are left to ponder: Are the deaths personal or the result of rich and poor living in such close proximity? And will Riley take the blame as someone has so meticulously planned?

            Here’s what the reviewer for Greenville bookstore Fiction Addiction had to say: “Through Any Window is a fantastic mystery that could easily have happened in any growing town in the south. It examines gentrification which leads to eviction and then homelessness. It is a thought-provoking look at how people end up homeless and what an uphill battle they then have. It is also, unfortunately, an all too realistic look at what money and greed can do.”
