About this audiobook
Disgraced journalist Sallie Hayes returns to her estranged Appalachian home to bury her father, only to find the entire rain-soaked county is burying something else: the decades-old disappearance of her childhood love. With the town's silence led by the menacing local pastor, Sallie must navigate a web of generational trauma and toxic secrets, or join the truth that the dark, deep silt has already claimed.
