The Marsh Girl--Kya Clark, lives with nature in this coming of age novel. When she's a young girl, her mother leaves, her siblings eventually leave, and though her father teaches her how to fish and isn't drinking for awhile, a letter from Kya's mother changes everything. He abandons her and doesn't come back, leaving Kya to fend for herself. This is a story of perseverance, struggles, and learning to trust again.

Adults, teens, book discussion groups

I loved the tone of this book. I was completely taken in by Kya Clark.

I wanted to tell all my friends and family to read it. In fact, I recommended it to our book discussion group and now they are reading it!

I would love to read similar books like this one!

Delia Owens has co-authored three bestselling nonfiction books about her life as a wildlife scientist. This is her first fiction novel.

I just think everyone should bask in this beautifully written book.
