The precedent that Salty has killed his wife is a shocking fact for the consolidation of the relationship between father and daughter. It certainly seems like a very complex but interesting topic.

You really can't escape inresolved past. It will always hunts you even at most unexpected times. This book is really what I'm looking for. I'm interested to read this book and witness how the father and daughter will get along with each other. I hope Sylvia will get the closure she needed.

"Discards" by Allan davis. An interesting story book, talks about a man Harold Salty who mistakenly killed his wife and was left with his seven-year-old daughter, Sylvia, leaving her without a mother. Sylvia on her own part is willing to do everything possible to get the attention she needs. Congrats on your #BOTD.

This sounds like a thrilling story about a father paying for his mistakes and his daughter getting closure. Just to show that you can never run away from mistakes; they have a tendency to find and follow close behind. Thanks for the great review.

I am curious to know what made Salty kill his wife and abandon an infant daughter. How does somebody move on after that? I like this intriguing story. Thanks for the review.

That is awful. I always wonder if a homeless person that I had encounter is on the run too with the same reason. I'm wondering about the story behind the murder. Did he kill his wife and left his daughter with her mom's dead body? I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy this book. I'm not into this genre, and the profanity content might be bother me the most. Great review!

A familiar dog and an unsavory past plagues the main character. Will the skeletons in his closet be exposed? Thinks for the detailed review.
