Immerse yourself in the captivating world of 'On the Savage Side,' a compelling novel that beautifully intertwines the lives of twin sisters, Arcade and Daffodil. With their striking red hair, these young heroines embody a fiery spirit and an insatiable desire for adventure. Nurtured by their grandmother's enchanting tales, they create an imaginative universe from the mundane around them—where a simple patch of grass leads to an archaeological dig, and an old convertible becomes a time machine.

Years later, as Arc and Daffy grapple with haunting memories, a local woman is found dead, heralding a series of chilling events that bind them closer in their struggle for safety.

Description:
Arcade and Daffodil are twin sisters born one minute apart. With their fiery red hair and thirst for an escape, they form an unbreakable bond nurtured by their grandmother's stories. Together they disappear into their imagination and forge a world where a patch of grass reveals an archaeologist's dig, the smoke emerging from the local paper mill becomes the dust rising from wild horses galloping deep beneath the earth, and an abandoned 1950s convertible transforms into a time machine that can take them anywhere.
But no matter how hard they try, Arc and Daffy can't escape the generational ghosts that haunt their family. And so, left to fend for themselves in the shadow of their rural Ohio town, the two sisters cling tight to one another.
Years later, as the sisters wrestle with the memories of their early life, a local woman is discovered dead in the river. Soon, more bodies are left floating in the water, and as the killer circles ever closer, Arc's promise to keep herself and her sister safe becomes increasingly desperate - and the powerful riptide of the savage side more difficult to survive.
Drawing from the true story of women killed in Chillicothe, Ohio, acclaimed novelist and poet Tiffany McDaniel has written a moving literary testament and fearless elegy for missing women everywhere.
