On the Savage Side

Arcade and Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart. With their fiery red hair and love for their grandmother's stories, they form an unbreakable bond. Together, they disappear into their imaginations and create a world all of their own. But no matter how hard they try, Arc and Daffy can't escape the past that lingers in the shadows of their rural Ohio town. When local women turn up dead in the river, the sisters must cling ever tighter to each other as the powerful riptide of the savage side becomes more difficult to survive. Drawing from the true story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, Tiffany McDaniel has written a moving literary testament and fearless elegy for missing women everywhere.
