The Girl from the Sea

Morgan is counting the years until she can leave her island home. Her family feels strained, her friends do not know everything about her, and keeping her attraction to girls secret has made familiar surroundings feel restrictive. When a mysterious girl named Keltie saves her from drowning, Morgan discovers a connection that changes what staying might mean. Friendship becomes romance, but Keltie is hiding things too. As their lives grow closer, both girls must face what secrecy can protect and what it can damage. This graphic novel combines a first-love story with a fantastical encounter at the sea’s edge, following a teenager who must decide whether belonging requires escape or the courage to become visible where she already lives.
