An emotional story about utter loneliness, the longing to belong somewhere, the fear that comes with that and a deep strong love for nature, as that is the only thing to understand.

Just like Tate and Chase I fell in love with this girl, growing into a woman, struggling but also brave enough to catch an opportunity. 

Even though the stories are intertwined from the beginning, the court case and Kya's life in the marsh feel like two different books to me. I simply did not want to believe the Kya I got to know and love, would come to her end in a prison. Not even when all evidence seemed to point at her.
