Narration
“Cassandra Campbell's soft Carolina voice is half the reason this book feels like a warm marsh evening.”
The story, without spoilers
Kya grows up alone in the marshes of North Carolina, nicknamed the Marsh Girl by the nearby town. When a local man is found dead, suspicion turns to her.
The narration
Campbell's accents are gentle and consistent, and her descriptions of the marsh are the most relaxing passages in the book.
