Saving Grace

Debbie Babitt

a novel of suspense

"For twenty-four years, Mary Grace Dobbs has been searching for salvation. Orphaned at eleven, she was forced to go live with her Bible salesman uncle, wheelchair-bound aunt, and cruel cousin. At school, a bully made her life a nightmare. Everything changed when a newcomer to town became her only best friend, only to crumble when that friend and another classmate vanished two months later, never to be seen again. Today, Mary Grace is the first female sheriff of her northwest Arkansas town, a position that doesnt sit well with some of the locals. But keeping order and her demons at bay becomes an impossible task when the man suspected in the earlier disappearances returns to Repentance...and another sixth grader vanishes. As interest in the case grows, the scrutiny of the outside world illuminates the village's darkest corners, causing old prejudices and new secrets to spill out into the open. Racing to find the missing girl while fearing for the safety of her own sixth-grade daughter, Mary Grace must confront an unspeakable truth -- and face a decision no parent should ever have to make."--, Provided by publisher
