Perfect for you if...

  • You're navigating a complicated relationship with a parent and want to see reconciliation happen slowly and honestly.
  • You love coming-of-age stories rooted in a specific place, where the landscape matters as much as the characters.
  • You appreciate quiet character development over dramatic plot twists, and you're drawn to stories about finding belonging.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need fast pacing and major plot developments to stay invested in a story.
  • You're looking for romance or significant peer drama—this is internal work, not social navigation.
  • You prefer books where the mystery gets solved; this one is more about acceptance than answers.

About this book

When her mother's third marriage takes place, fifteen-year-old Clare's summer plans collapse. She is sent to spend the season at an ancient cottage on a small marsh island off Cape Cod with her biological father, whom she has not seen since age three. Clare's father is quiet and focused on endangered turtles. A teenager she meets on Cape Cod mentions that her father has a reputation as the town's eccentric. However, the marsh and island possess an undeniable quality that connects to Clare's past in ways beyond simple memory. Her father's work with turtles also reveals unexpected elements. As her father gradually shares more about himself and his own difficulties, Clare's summer transforms from feeling like punishment into something more like a homecoming.
