SALVAGE by Curt Craighead



by Curt Craighead

Back on his motorcycle for the first time since his wife’s passing, Dr. Tom Welton finally feels he is beginning to heal from the grief. His early morning ride is restoring his sense of self. But when he loses traction on the wet asphalt and slides off the road’s curve into the dense woods of the east Texas Big Thicket, he comes face to face with his life-long spiritual deception. Trapped under the wreckage of his motorcycle, he believes his salvation lies in being found before it’s too late. But too late for what?

As his family mounts a search for their missing elderly father, Tom takes a journey through his life while lying on the forest floor. In his fever-seared state, he is visited by loved ones and a few strangers, each who have a message to impart. He comes to understand “too late” has an altogether different meaning as his true spiritual state becomes apparent. Will he be found in time?

From the Author
The novel explores the stumbling blocks of hubris, self-consciousness and doubt in the face of God's evidentiary existence, prompting the reader to embrace the very notion of self-forgiveness and redemption. While not a typical novel of Christian affirmation, the lead character explores his lifelong refusal to trust anything but himself, even after navigating an unfulfilled life of success and temporal happiness. With blues music and his 55-year marriage as backdrops, the book is introspective and thought-provoking, likewise compelling the reader to examine their own beliefs and what it means to be loved.

The book is esoteric but accessible, written for people who like good fiction and are in some way inquisitive about their own relationship with God.
