For years, Barkley Cove, a tranquil town on the North Carolina coast, has been plagued by rumors of the elusive “Marsh Girl.” When the handsome Chase Andrews is found dead in the late 1969, the locals immediately point fingers at Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. However, Kya is not what they believe her to be. Sensible and bright, she has survived alone in her marshy sanctuary, finding solace in the company of gulls and wisdom in the sands.
As time goes by, Kya longs for affection and companionship. When two young men from town are drawn to her untamed beauty, Kya opens her heart to a new world—until an unthinkable event changes everything.
Through Kya’s incredible journey, the author, Owens, reminds us that the experiences of our childhood shape us forever and that nature holds both captivating beauty and concealed secrets.
