Overview

The Salt House Sarah Kimball is everything she is supposed to be. A devoted wife. A mother of four. The respected spouse of a Mormon stake president. She has built a life around faith, responsibility, and quiet endurance. Then she finds the Salt House. Hidden in the basement of a catering kitchen, a small group of women meets every other Thursday night. They come to talk, to listen, and to survive. What begins as a lifeline becomes something far more dangerous. Honesty. As secrets unravel and loyalties fracture, Sarah is forced to confront a truth she has buried for years. The life she is living is killing her. The life she wants may cost her everything. The Salt House is a quiet, devastating novel about belief and betrayal, marriage and motherhood, and the cost of living a life that is not your own. Set within the tight boundaries of contemporary Mormon culture, it explores the hidden communities women build when survival is no longer enough, and the courage it takes to choose truth over safety. For readers of literary fiction, LGBTQ+ stories, and emotionally honest narratives about women, faith, and becoming real.
