As the Civil War raged during its worst years, Rachel Moore and her husband left cold New York for the Caribbean in an attempt to restore her failing health. At times it seemed the voyage itself was going to kill her. But she survived and kept a journal of her keen observations of life in the islands. What shocked her the most was the state of Caribbean slavery; worse, in her mind, than what she had seen traveling through the American south. A Quaker and an abolitionist, slavery was an absolute evil to her. Her descriptions of slave life, the islands, the people, and what she loved about her time there are all fascinating to read.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE—The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 18 million copies sold, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.” New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens 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.
