Synopsis

The psychological labyrinth of a young woman's insidious connection to the sea, from the Edgar Award nominated author of "Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone." Callie Morgan has long lived choked by the failure of her own lungs, the result of an elusive pulmonary illness that has plagued her since childhood. A childhood marked early by the drowning death of her mother--a death to which Callie was the sole witness. Her father has moved them inland, away from the memories of the California coast her mother loved so much and toward promises of recovery--and the escape of denial--in arid, landlocked air. But after years of running away, the promise of a life-changing job for her father brings Callie and him back to the coast, to Florida, where Callie's symptoms miraculously disappear. For once, life seems delightfully normal. But the ocean's edge offers more than healing air ... it holds a magnetic pull, drawing Callie closer and closer to the chilly, watery embrace that claimed her mother. Returned to the ocean, Callie comes of age and comes into a family destiny that holds generations of secrets and very few happy endings.

"Lush, mysterious, utterly compelling." -Ellen Hopkins, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of the Crank trilogy

"At its best in the sensory details that create its vaguely sinister atmosphere."--Kirkus Reviews
"This often eerie novel that toes the line of fantasy is a delight. Readers won't be sure just what it is that has consumed Callie--her own madness, or perhaps, something altogether inhuman--but they'll keep turning pages in hopes of finding out. For fans of E. Lockhart's We Were Liars." -"School Library Journal"
