Who built it this way?and who benefits when nothing changes?

In Fort Worth's Stop Six neighborhood, Reverend Amos Wren knows the families behind the statistics: parents choosing between groceries and rent, elders afraid of losing their homes, and young people searching for a future beyond the streets.

At New Hope Baptist Church, Amos offers comfort, practical help, and a place to be heard. But as his neighbors struggle to get ahead, he begins asking whether another sermon is enough.

His questions put him at odds with Bishop Carlton Royce, a powerful prosperity-gospel preacher whose promises of investment and opportunity conceal interests the community was never meant to understand.

As Amos and his allies uncover the business dealings behind those promises, a neighborhood struggle becomes a public confrontation. Powerful people want his silence. The people of New Hope need his courage. And the young men seeking a way out need someone willing to stand beside them when trouble comes.

With homes, reputations, and lives at stake, Amos must decide how much he is willing to risk?and what faith demands when the people he serves are being pushed aside.

Forgotten America: The Voice of Amos Wren is a contemporary novel about faith, power, and the cost of speaking out. At its heart is a Black pastor who refuses to let his neighbors remain invisible, and a community discovering that its voice can reach far beyond the church doors.

For readers drawn to African American fiction, social justice, and stories of moral courage, Amos Wren offers a hero grounded in the lives of the people he serves.
