ABOUT
THE BOOK

After being involved in a violent and traumatic incident on the New York City subway, the thirty-something narrator of Salvage flees her hectic Manhattan lifestyle and moves into a rambling house in rural Virginia. In the quiet of her own company, trying to put her life back together, she finds herself increasingly haunted by her painful and isolated childhood, the ghost of her never-born sister, and her still-difficult relationship with her mother. Can she prevent the past from overtaking her present?
