Kya has been abandoned in the North Carolina marsh as a 6 year old. She will be labeled the "Marsh Girl" by others in the town. She learns to survive on her own.
Tate is a friend and comes to visit with her and teaches her how to read and write.
She is always writing things about the birds, grasses, mushrooms, etc in her environment. The walls of her shack are covered with her collectings. Tate claims to love her and tells her that he is going to college, but he stands her up for his last meeting with her before that happens. This makes her feel very alone.
She then meets Chase, who is the town's football quarterback, but gets used by him. He seems to believe that it is OK to visit and "play" with Kya, saying he wants to marry her and build her a house. Chase is then found dead. The sheriff is looking for answers and comes to the conclusion that Kya is probably the suspect.
This is less of a murder mystery than touted. This is really a story about Kya and all that life throws her.
