Strange and unusual things lurk behind the calm façade of Dearborn County.

Several legends surround Hillforest Mansion, the home of one of Aurora's founding families. Many have seen the ghost of a farmer and his mule at Carnegie Hall in Moores Hill. The glowing grave at Riverview Cemetery may connect to the 1941 Agrue family massacre. St. Mary's Church rectory is said to be haunted by the former priest, and the spirits at Whiskey's in Lawrenceburg are not just in the drinks. Several schools in the area echo with the sounds of former students and staff, and numerous local residences house the spirits of former owners who never left.

Join Mary Ellen Quigley and Rebecca Wilhelm on a chilling tour from Lawrenceburg to Lawrenceville and beyond.

When cancer enters your life, it changes everything. It doesn’t have to shake your faith.

The moment I heard the words “You have ovarian cancer,” my world turned upside down. Fear, uncertainty, and endless “what ifs” filled my mind. Maybe you’ve been there too, staring at a diagnosis that feels bigger than you, wondering where God is in the middle of it all.

This 30-day devotional is for anyone walking through the storm of cancer. I’ll take you through the raw moments, the tough questions, and the unexpected ways God shows up when life feels impossible.

Each day includes:
✔️ A personal story from my cancer journey
✔️ A Bible verse to cling to when fear creeps in
✔️ A heartfelt prayer for strength and peace
✔️ Reflection questions to help you process this season with God

Cancer may change your body, your plans, and your sense of control, but it doesn’t change God’s love for you. So take a deep breath, grab a cup of coffee (or let’s be honest, some ginger tea), and let’s walk this road together, one day at a time.
