The story follows two timelines that slowly intertwine. The first timeline describes the life and adventures of a young girl named Kya as she grows up isolated in the marsh of North Carolina between 1952 and 1969. The second timeline follows an investigation into the apparent murder of Chase Andrews, a local celebrity of Barkley Cove, a fictional coastal town of North Carolina. By January 2022, the book had sold 12 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. “I can't even express how much I love this book! I didn't want this story to end" (Reese Witherspoon).
