Ginny Myers Said has an interesting background. She's been a director and acting instructor for the last 20 years, in a program designed for high-school students who really want to be theatre actors. Penguin Random House says that "she is interested in telling stories about resilient kids who come of age in remote setting." That is exactly the storyline of "Secrets so Deep." The setting is Whisper Cove where the incident happened. The main character revisits this setting to find out what happened to her mother. There are a lot of super natural elements in the story, so those who like that will enjoy this book. There is a lot of suspense, mystery and romance. And it has the same feel as the Perfect Storm, Moby Dick, The Bitter End, Tales of Nautical Terror, Triangulation: Beneath the Surface, Fae Visions of the Mediterranean, Mermaid and the Shoe.
