Marsh Girl

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens begins so sadly that I cried for the little girl.  The girl is Kya or Catherine.  She is abandoned by everyone. Literally.  Everyone she loves leaves her.

This thought did lead me to contemplation.  Doesn't everything leave, eventually?  And that includes us leaving others too.  It's part of life.

There are happy moments too and it does end happily.  Kya grows up and falls in love, a couple of times.  Her rough beginnings mold her into a self-sufficient, strong woman.

It has a surprise ending.  You will still enjoy the book.

I have a question for those who have read the book.  Near the end, the police pick up Tate.  Why?  Did I miss it?  The next chapter goes on as if Tate wasn't picked up by the sheriff.  What happened?
