The Girl Named Mud

A Gripping Christian Suspense

A haunting story of survival, innocence lost, and the quiet hand of grace...



Twelve-year-old Mud has never known safety. Raised in the Louisiana swamps by her mentally ill mother, she’s been warned all her life that the Devil is coming for her. When a brutal attack shatters her world, Mud is left alone—with only a stolen knife, her instincts, and a desperate will to live.



Hungry, hunted, and untrusting, she avoids the village where her mother claimed evil lived. But when illness finally brings her to the brink, she’s rescued by Grace Holloway—a woman of faith who sees more than just the dirt and fear clinging to Mud’s skin.



Grace believes God brought Mud into her life for a reason. But as the girl begins to heal, dark questions emerge. Who killed her mother? What truth lies buried in the swamp? And is the evil Mud fears still watching her from the shadows?



Powerful and redemptive, The Girl Named Mud is a deeply emotional Christian suspense that explores the collision of brokenness and belief—where survival meets salvation.
