Crow is a determined and dynamic heroine with a strong intuition, who pieces together the puzzle of her past while making profound realizations about the definition of family.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review★ “The mysteries—and the words that describe them—are compelling enough to send readers to the islands for years to come.
