In the second book of the Defiance, Texas trilogy, Mary DeMuth delivers a haunting and emotionally charged story of a mother's relentless search for answers.

Burying her grief, Emory Chance is determined to find her daughter Daisy's murderer--a man she saw in a flicker of a vision. But when the investigation hits every dead end, her despair escalates. As questions surrounding Daisy's death continue to mount, Emory's safety is shattered by the pursuit of a stranger--forcing her to confront not only the danger around her but also the ghosts of her past. Will she ever find the peace her heart longs for?

A gripping tale of courageous love, regret's heavy burden, and the unbreakable ties that bind, A Slow Burn explores the beauty and pain of telling the truth. Most of all, it is about the power of forgiveness--and what remains when shame no longer holds us captive.

Enter the world of Defiance, Texas, where secrets fester, redemption waits, and every choice carries the weight of eternity. Other books include Daisy Chain and Life in Defiance.
