This story, set in a remote location, is told from several points of view and two interlinked time periods, 1970s and present day. Cleverly constructed with plot twists and turns the initial mystery is satisfyingly resolved.
A beautiful evocation of the North Carolina marshlands and a story of an abandoned child whose life is shaped by those around her, the community who should help, but instead treat her like an outcast. A coming-of-age story with love of the natural world combined with a mysterious death make this a unique and compelling story.
