Salty Like Blood: A Novel

When his young daughter goes missing, a desperate father will do anything to get her back, no matter what he has to sacrfice along the way.

David Conners, M.D., is on the fast track to creating a perfect life when his seven-year-old daughter disappears. David's all-consuming quest to find her—dead or alive—threatens to destroy everything he has left: his medical practice, his marriage, his integrity, and even his soul.

If Rachel is dead: Can a parent forgive someone who has done the unthinkable?

Can David forgive himself?

If she's alive: Can David find her in time to save her?
