Avril returns to Whisper Cove for a summer theater experience. At 17, she is questioning everything and chooses to keep secrets from her new friends. Whisper Cove has a ghost story about voices that compelled a whole village of women and children to walk into the ocean and drown. Avril can relate--she was there once before at age 5 and technically drowned. It was the year her mother died.

This excerpt, full of atmospheric descriptions, leaves me to wonder about Avril's memories from 12 years ago, the 'voices' she heard, and how her mother's death is connected to the theater camp. Add a couple of budding romances and this book is sure to keep me reading!
