"Kira has been drawn to the sea as long as she can remember. But her parents have forbidden her from going to the seashore, even though her father is a fisherman and their house overlooks a harbour. Frustrated by their rules, Kira decides to rebel and swim anyway. What she learns shocks her and drives her to discover the secret that her parents have been keeping from her since she was adopted as a baby. With the help of her friend Cody, Kira begins to unravel the truth about her original family, and about some of the unsavoury characters who call the sea their home. Torn between loyalty to her adoptive parents, and the search for her real family, Kira has tough decisions to make. But is she ready to make them?"--Page 4 of cover.
