The Salvage Man

As a housing development bears down, Dan Reynolds is removing architectural details from a 150-year old farmhouse slated for demolition. Like the old farmhouse, Dan is isolated from the modern world, resentful and unhappy, but afraid to change.

It takes an unlikely friendship with a mysterious woman to show him that salvage is about hope and redemption and that “delicate things must be carefully kept.”

Kurt Meyer’s second novel tells the story of two souls brought together by unlikely circumstances and raw desperation. Bound together by personal loss, they find their courage to move forward amid the destruction of everything they love.

Kurt Meyer's writing, whether as newspaper columnist, novelist or blogger, chronicles and explores the changing cultural landscape of Midwestern small town life. He's worked as a realtor specializing in marketing historic properties, has restored multiple Victorian-era homes and co-founded the annual literary journal, Polk Street Review.
