Abandoned by her family, Kya has spent most of her life alone in the marshes of North Carolina. When a body is found in the marsh, Kya becomes the top suspect and must fight to be seen and understood by the town that rejected her.

Hey, have y’all heard about this book? 😂 I know I’m the last person to read it and no one needs another rave review, but I’m doing it anyway! I read this whole book in one evening. I was immediately drawn to Kya and into her life and could not stop.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the Carolina coast and this book so wonderfully captures its weird beauty. I really felt like I was there. And the courtroom drama! Truly gripping, and I was genuinely shocked by the ending.
