Summer of Salt

Every woman in Georgina Fernweh’s family has developed magic, but Georgina is approaching eighteen without any sign of a gift. On the island of By-the-Sea, where her twin sister’s abilities are already apparent, that absence makes the end of summer feel like a deadline. A visiting girl named Prue offers the possibility of first love, while storms and the mystery surrounding an extraordinarily old bird unsettle island life. When suspicion falls on her family, Georgina’s questions about her own power become inseparable from protecting people she loves. The summer she expected to mark a simple departure instead asks her to reconsider what magic can mean and what her home has concealed.
