Step Inside the Story

I wanted to give you another way to step inside this book. The Child Beneath the Market House brings together Fayetteville, music, and the voices of those who came before us. Through Kendrick’s story, I wanted to explore what happens when the past starts asking us to listen.

This preview brings a piece of that world to the screen. It’s an invitation to meet the story, feel its atmosphere, and get curious about what’s waiting in the pages. Whether you’ve already read the book or you’re discovering it for the first time, I hope this gives you another way to connect with it.
