But how can fifteen-year-old Sammy Carlisle trust the peculiar feelings that make her different?When their mother dies, Sammy and younger brother, Loren, are sent to live on a secluded island near Seattle. In spite of being surrounded by people who love her, Sammy is angry, sad, and isolated from everything, except the miraculous sea life around her. Sammy explores the island and encounters sick seals and sea lions, and begins a search for answers that are unexpected and draw her further into an aquatic world, both magical and dangerous. Pulled by feelings she cannot escape, she comes face to face with the dark corners of fear and loss-Sammy discovers her power, reveals her true self, and finds new family above and below the ocean's surface.
