Saving Grace

“I’m the only one who knows what really happened to those girls…”

For twenty-four years, Mary Grace Dobbs has been searching for salvation. Orphaned at eleven, she was forced to live on the charity of her Bible salesman uncle. At school, a bully made her life a nightmare. Everything changed when a newcomer to town became her first and only best friend. Two months later, search parties were sent out to find her two classmates, who were never seen again.

Today, Mary Grace is a single mother and the first female sheriff of her Arkansas town. Keeping order and her demons at bay becomes an impossible task when the Black drifter who was a suspect in the earlier disappearances returns to Repentance…and another sixth grader vanishes.

Set in a remote mountain town, where secrets run as deep as the hollows, Saving Grace is at once a spellbinding tale of innocence lost and an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller. This startling debut novel introduces a captivating protagonist whose concept of good and evil can shape a young girl living in the South—then and now.
