Summer Reading: Dive Deep into Family Drama
Just in time for summer reading, author Elisabeth Sharp McKetta discusses her mythological story of a mother and daughter’s journey through healing and forgiveness, She Never Told Me About the Ocean (2021, Paul Dry Books). Set on a lush island where magic and myth permeate the atmosphere from an ocean breeze, an 18-year-old discovers the darkest, deadliest depths of the sea as she struggles to swim toward the light.
