520    For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley
       Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. She's 
       barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 
       1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the 
       locals immediately suspect Kya Clark. But Kya is not what 
       they say. Abandoned at age ten, she has survived on her 
       own in the marsh that she calls home. A born naturalist 
       with just one day of school, she takes life lessons from 
       the land, learning from the false signals of fireflies the
       real way of this world. But while she could have lived in 
       solitude forever, the time comes when she yearns to be 
       touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who 
       are each intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself 
       to a new and startling world until the unthinkable 
       happens.
