At ten years old, her Dad’s not coming home so she figures out a way to survive on her own by picking mussels and oysters and selling them to Jumpin to buy food and supplies.

Kya and her father developed a relationship through fishing. It’s the first time she’s felt some kind of family bonding since everyone else left. She needed someone. She needed to talk to someone. The report on the Chase’s death shows nothing, but the officers believe this wasn’t an accident. People around are talking though.

Tate may be someone that can fill the void for Kya that her Ma and Jodie left in her. Tate doesn’t have a younger sister or mother anymore so Kya could possibly fill that void for him. He comes from a good home with his father. They work hard, take care of their family, and can express their feelings in a proper way.

The body of Chase Andrews was found by two boys. Chase was the same little boy riding his bike with his friends earlier in the book.

So far it’s a very interesting book.
