How Far a Father Goes : A Novel of Loss, Love, and the Worlds We'd Cross to Save Someone
Overview
Elias Marsh is an ordinary plumber. He is not equipped for what comes next.
Fourteen months ago, his daughter Mia drowned in their backyard pool during eleven seconds he will never stop counting. He never blamed his wife. He never stopped loving her. But neither of them ever came home from that afternoon, not really.
Then a woman who looks exactly like his wife appears in their kitchen, carrying a strange device and a warning: Mia can still be saved. Before Elias can ask how, she dies in his arms.
What he learns next will break open everything he thought he understood about loss. Water remembers. Every reflection holds another world, another version of the day that went wrong, another version of his daughter. Elias has no training, no special skill, nothing but a father's grief and a plumber's steady hands. He crosses anyway.
He fails. And that failure changes everything, because he discovers there is no single lost daughter waiting to be found. There are infinite daughters, in infinite worlds, and infinite families who need someone to show up before their own eleven seconds run out.
How Far a Father Goes is a novel about grief that refuses to stay small: a story of parallel worlds, impossible choices, and the specific, aching math of how much a parent will give for a child who technically isn't theirs. For readers of The Midnight Library, All the Light We Cannot See, and anyone who has ever wondered what they'd cross an ocean of water to save.
