Fiction
On a steamy August morning, Sarah Larkin drops her
six-year-old daughter, Eliza, off at camp and heads to her
office, where she works as an editor of a women's magazine.
Sitting at her desk testing a $450 face cream, she is just
rubbing it into her forearm when the phone rings. Detective Ronald Brook, speaking softly and deliberately,
tells Sarah that her husband has vanished. A keening sound
escapes from Sarah's throat as the detective lays out the
few facts he knows. A noted sculptor, Todd Larkin went swimming at midnight off
the coast of Florida and hasn't returned. He was staying
with a woman. He was drinking. He left behind his keys,
wallet, cell phone, and his return airline ticket. They also
found two drawings and pieces of a sculpture. But there is
no trace of him or his body. The coast guard has been
scouring the shoreline, but no one has seen a thing. Has Todd run off to start a new life or is he dead? Could it
have been an accident, suicide, or homicide? Immediately,
Sarah's life spins into a world of uncer-tainty, hope, and
fear as she grapples with the mystery of his disappearance. As Sarah tries to discover what happened to the man she
thought she knew better than anyone, she is forced to
confront the love and resentments, the hopes and
disappointments of her marriage. And through it all, she
must find a way to help her young daughter deal with the
crisis while meeting the demands of the high-powered
magazine world. Based on the author's own experiences, Waiting to Surface is
a beautiful and haunting story about coming to terms with
loss, learning to live in a world without answers, and
discovering the ability to treasure love once again.
