The Spared Daughter: A Christian Romantic Suspense Novel inspired by True Events (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181348929)

A murdered family. A vanished father. A daughter who should be dead.
Can be read as a standalone Christian crime suspense novel.

When Erin Walsh walks into Claire Lawson's office, she brings two impossible things: a DNA match to a murdered Pennsylvania family - and a newspaper clipping naming a seven-year-old girl who died in 1987.

The girl's name was Abigail Stahl.

Erin is forty-nine years old.

Raised under a different name, with no photographs of her childhood and a story about a fire that took everything, Erin has spent her life believing the past was gone. But paper has a memory. So does blood. And when Claire helps her look closer, the old story begins to split open.

A missing autopsy.
A falsified death record.
An empty grave.
A child's quilt that was never supposed to be washed.
And a father who disappeared after mailing his confession to a pastor.

Detective Gabriel Foster's Historical Crimes Unit has worked cold cases before. But this one is different. Because if Erin Walsh is really Abigail Stahl, then the man who killed her family may not have erased everyone after all.

And someone has been watching the family line.

Inspired by one of America's most haunting true fugitive family-murder cases, The Spared Daughter is a clean Christian crime suspense novel about buried evidence, distorted faith, a mother's hidden courage, and the long road from erasure to a restored name.

For readers who enjoy faith-filled cold case mysteries, Christian suspense, inspirational crime thrillers, DNA mysteries, family secrets, and emotionally powerful stories of justice, survival, and redemption.
