For years, rumours 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.
