520    "Fans of Barbara Kingsolver will love this stunning debut 
       novel from a New York Times bestselling nature writer, 
       about an unforgettable young woman determined to make her 
       way in the wilds of North Carolina, and the two men that 
       will break her isolation open.  For years, rumors of the 
       "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on 
       the North Carolina coast. She's barefoot and wild; unfit 
       for polite society. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase 
       Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya 
       Clark.  But Kya is not what they say. Abandoned at age ten,
       she has survived on her own in the marsh that she calls 
       home. A born naturalist with just one day of school, she 
       takes life lessons from the land, learning from the false 
       signals of fireflies the real way of this world. But while
       she could have lived in solitude forever, the time comes 
       when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two 
       young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild 
       beauty, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world--
       until the unthinkable happens.  In Where the Crawdads Sing,
       Owens juxtaposes an exquisite ode to the natural world 
       against a heartbreaking coming of age story and a 
       surprising murder investigation. Thought-provoking, wise, 
       and deeply moving, Owens's debut novel reminds us that we 
       are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that 
       we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets 
       that nature keeps"--|cProvided by publisher.
