Description

THE SECRET OF SAVANNAH ROSE is a psychological thriller and a story of redemption.

A popular televangelist is forced to confront her dark and hidden past when she’s called to redeem a convicted murderer and realizes he’s the john she left for dead.

Things are closing in on Rose Holland. Eleven years ago, she was Savannah Stone, scrappy Baton Rouge street hooker and con. One night, things go terribly wrong.

In a dark motel room, she violently attacks the crazy john who has no intention of leaving her alive. He vows to find her. That is, if he survives.
Savannah runs. There’s no safe person. No safe place. She hops on the next Greyhound to the end of the line -- Houston.

Dazed and disheveled, Savannah stumbles into a small storefront church. What she’s looking for is a safe haven. What she finds is a new identity and a closeted life as Mrs. Rose Holland, preacher’s wife, evangelist and pretender.

Now, as the star of a popular television show, Rose sells a different kind of salvation -- spiritual transformation.

But the network wants bigger, edgier. They want “reality.” And Rose has 48 hours to give them just that.

Meanwhile, Errol Clemmons receives his final conviction for murder. He’s a media cause célèbre, the heart throb of hundreds of women, and his defeat is all over the news.

He asks to see Rose to guide him through his darkest hours. Rose is drawn to him, finally succumbing to a hissing, mesmerizing Cobra.
Rose’s new alliance is just what the network is looking for -- a live broadcast from prison staring Clemmons in his own spiritual redemption.
But Clemmons has his own idea of redemption -- his freedom, and he threatens to expose Rose’s dark past on national television.

Who is Clemmons? What does he know about her? Is he bluffing? Is he the man who tried to kill her eleven years ago?

What she discovers is more shocking than she could have ever imagined, and what she’s avoided all these years - herself.

The show goes live. Rose Holland and Errol Clemmons, together at last. The final showdown.

He has no idea his salvation is in her hands. She has no idea her life is in his.
