Author Barbara Eubanks to hold book signing event

Barbara Eubanks, a resident of Albertville, AL, will be available to sign copies of her newest Christian Fiction novel, A Web Too Tight on Friday, December 7th at 6 p.m. at Elkdale Baptist Church. 

Barbara Eubanks’s A Web Too Tight shows how families are affected when the web of trust is damaged. Molly and her family, church family, and the town of Smythville are shocked when they learn the news: Molly’s husband and senior pastor, Jack, has an affair with a church member he is counseling. Molly also learns that this was not the only person caught in Jack’s web. A Web Too Tight is the saga of a fall, and we see that although sinners may repent and be forgiven, their sin still exacts a great price.
