Avila Beach. Peaceful, relaxed, hidden along the Pacific. Where tourists ebb and flow, and locals keep to themselves. The perfect place for a wanted man to hide in plain sight. When a spectacle appears on the beach one morning, some see it as just the attraction Avila needs, setting their sights on off-season profits. Others see it a miracle from above, a sign from God. But four-year-old Davey — in hiding with his fugitive father — sees it with wonder, wanting only to explore. As eyes and cameras converge, Davey is unaware of the threat they pose to himself, to his father, and to his very life. After years in hiding, will a miracle expose two people who cannot afford to be found? And who will be Davey’s Savior?
Davey Savior Timothy Savage Books
As a nod to all writers/authors who try bring their ideas to life, I respect you. I used to think I could do it but I could never elevate my work beyond what I consider annoying. The fact that Timothy Savage was able to bring this book to publish deserves one star, a second is granted because he was able to do it even though it is painful to read. The author's skill level isn't there yet. It reads like juvenal fiction, the characters are base and stereotypical, I wanted to strangle that precious "Little Davey", the Sheriff that lets everybody know how incompetent his deputy is, the horny Christian barista who just can't understand why everybody doesn't love Jesus while he busily polishes his espresso machine that makes some "pretty tasty brew", the smokin' hot marine biologist who's biological clock is ticking and the extra cute hip nun that just can't follow all the rules.Maybe there is a market out there for this kind of writing, it's just not for me.

Davey Savior Timothy Savage Books Reviews
I was hooked from page one. This is an incredible tale of a father's uncompromising love for his child. Extremely well written!
I really eamjoyed how the book grabbed my attention from the first chapter. A child being taken away in an Amber Alert- interesting. My family vacations at Morro Bay every year so also wonderful to read about where we spend time!
Tim’s storytelling is exceptionally believable and compelling. I felt like I was right there when listening to the conversations between father and son. Davey’s Savior really moved me, and towards the end of the book, I was held in suspense and stayed up later than usual to finish reading….. I could not put it down. Tim is an Artist with words.
My reading habits have taken a beating over the past 3 years. I rarely have the patience or energy to read for pleasure after spending 8 hours at a computer. So even though it took me a number of sessions to finish Davey's Savior, I never once forgot the plot line, the characters or my place in the narrative. And I was actually glad that the last 100 pages were waiting for me to savor on Thanksgiving Day. The man-on-the-run aspect is sure to please the CSI lovers, but its the internal struggles that speak to my 49-year-old heart. What children do to your sense of self. Trying to make sense of religious oxymorons. Balancing work and love. And what happens when it seems to all go wrong. And even though I have never been to the California Shore, were I an artist, I could paint you a picture of Avila just from the salty, windy, sandy descriptions in this book.
A smashing first novel, and I hope there are more to come.
Timothy Savage beautifully balances dramatic tension, mood-setting description, and creating very real characters in his suspenseful, poignant first novel.
The opening tension builds over chapters, as Savage carefully constructs his story from inside his main characters' relationship out -- using a strange and innocent coincidence as the catalyst for suspense and the means through which many of the characters' true colors are revealed. By the time the pieces of the story fall together like a thunderclap, and the heartbreaking confession is made, the storm swirling around the pair takes on a new ferocity, Savage had me questioning many versions of "virtue" and "kindness" and "faith."
I plan to send copies to several friends -- mine is too precious to loan out.
The novel starts out at a slow burn Savage makes it very plain that Sketch and Davey have things to hide... big, potentially dangerous things. Aside from the discovery of the whale shark, this is the major thrust of the first third of the book. I admit that at first, I was frustrated by how much The Secret was dangled in front of my face how often Sketch would fret and worry and obscure, despite any further clues to what he was hiding. I was so preoccupied with this that I missed the artful, tiny clues peppered throughout the story which foretold the climactic moments of the book. In retrospect, then, my frustration was negated, and I feel like I owe Tim Savage an apology for judging him a little in "stringing me along". What he did with his story is masterful not just in its obfuscation of the plot twist, but in completely leading this reader in one direction at first, and then turning my expectations upside down in terms of theme, as well.
There were a few rough patches notably the text conversations of Kendra, the marine biologist, which were a little jarring next to the prose, and some of the build-up between the whale shark's arrival and the furthering of the plot. But for those willing to forgive the novel its flaws, it has a fine reward.
When Anthony first hatches his plan to draw in customers through the miracle of the whale shark, readers may assume - as I did - that the titular Savior was meant to be Jesus Christ, and that the novel was about to take a heavily religious turn. The trio of nuns reinforced this ... but each character's own personal challenges eventually make it clear that this is not a novel about the saving power of Christianity, but the role of any form of faith in life. By setting the reader up and then dropping his twists and turns, Tim Savage makes them think right along with the characters ... connecting them to the book even more deeply. The book I found so slow to start was impossible to put down by the time I reached its second half. Davey's Savior is the literary equivalent of a log flume ride you drift along for most of it, but the climb and the plunge at the end are so satisfying that you'll end up wanting to go again.
I loved the character development, adding layers of complexity to each of the characters from the beginning of the book to its end. The story is compelling. I couldn't put the book down even when my eyes got tired! Descriptions of people and places are rich and vivid. And the book contains a number of surprises for the reader. You're going to laugh a little and cry a little.
As a nod to all writers/authors who try bring their ideas to life, I respect you. I used to think I could do it but I could never elevate my work beyond what I consider annoying. The fact that Timothy Savage was able to bring this book to publish deserves one star, a second is granted because he was able to do it even though it is painful to read. The author's skill level isn't there yet. It reads like juvenal fiction, the characters are base and stereotypical, I wanted to strangle that precious "Little Davey", the Sheriff that lets everybody know how incompetent his deputy is, the horny Christian barista who just can't understand why everybody doesn't love Jesus while he busily polishes his espresso machine that makes some "pretty tasty brew", the smokin' hot marine biologist who's biological clock is ticking and the extra cute hip nun that just can't follow all the rules.
Maybe there is a market out there for this kind of writing, it's just not for me.
