Finding Dalton's Secret Nicole Schultheis

Weeks after Renee Parker and River Walker survive a traumatic attack, they are beginning to settle into a new life at home in the Silver Creek Valley. Renee is still struggling to find normalcy in her life when she is forced to remain alone one day when River must leave town, something she hasn't had to endure since the day Daniel, her soon-to-be ex-husband, tried to murder her months earlier. What would be an ordinary day turns into terror, with mysterious murders in the peaceful valley. Lily, a young girl, finds herself abandoned inside the walls of a trailer in the middle of a California forest. Her father, often gone for many days at a time, hasn't returned in weeks, and Lily must face a grim reality-without food or water, she must adventure out alone into a world she knows nothing about in order to survive. Things look like they can't get much worse-until two men appear, turning her life upside down, and forcing her into a world of corruption and violence
