Winner of the 2019 Humor Award for New Apple Literary, this story spans three generations on a small farm in Iowa.
After suffering the loss of two people she cared for deeply, Keilah moved to Sandy Salts, Iowa in search of a fresh start. Little did she know, acclimating to the dusty town would be more complicated than she anticipated.
She needs to figure out why she can’t move past the murky circumstances of her best friend Rosabel’s death. Instead, Keilah finds herself drawn into a cold case the residents of Sandy Salts have all but forgotten.
All except one…
Her elderly landlord, Dee, has a dark secret her heart never healed from. Her younger brother was kidnapped decades ago, and never found. While the spunky woman tries not to talk about the painful ordeal, the mystery of his disappearance constantly haunts her.
Digging into Dee’s case, as well as her own, Keilah unwittingly discovers shocking secrets others are desperate to keep hidden. The explosive truth she uncovers could change the town of Sandy Salts, and Keilah, forever.
