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. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and
loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild
beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life — until the unthinkable
happens.
