Rumours about the so-called Marsh Girl have long haunted the quiet town of Barkley Cove on the North Carolina coast. When a local man is found dead in late 1969, suspicion quickly falls on Kya Clark, a young woman who has survived for years alone in the marsh.

Her story blends isolation, first love, and the pressure of small-town judgment with a vivid sense of place. It will appeal to readers drawn to lyrical fiction, coming-of-age drama, and a mystery shaped by the natural world.
