A coming-of-age story set in the marshlands of North Carolina.
For years, rumors of the 'Marsh Girl' have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.
“There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.”
“Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
“She knew the years of isolation had altered her behavior until she was different from others, but it wasn't her fault she'd been alone.”
