Romance Contemporary
Worldly, educated and well-traveled, Sand Williams returns
to her hometown along the beautiful Seven Point River for
some much needed respite. She shares nothing in common with
her fundamentalist and judgmental neighbor, Norah Everston,
who calls upon Sand to look after her son and step-daughter
while she and her husband are out of town. Sand checks in
on the two teenagers to find that the Everston's eighteen-
year-old daughter has been brutally murdered. Separated by conflicting ideologies, the lives of Sand and
Norah are soon intertwined as they struggle to cope with
the overwhelming forces of tragedy and angst. Patti
Callahan, the sole female in the sheriff's department, is
also deeply affected by Dahlia's murder. As the first
deputy to arrive on the scene, Patti joins Sand and Norah
in the whirlwind of emotional and personal exploration
spurned by these tragic events. As head of the Howell County Stop Violence Against
Women Task Force, Katie Estill crossed paths with
the father of the murdered girl whose story inspired
DAHLIA'S GONE. It is from this brief encounter that
the idea of the novel was born. Capturing the awe-inspiring
beauty of a river landscape in the Ozarks and the
intricacies of small town southern life, Estill's latest
novel is an intimate portrait of a community forever
changed by disaster.
