This book was beautifully written. It centers on the supernatural by describing the average lives of one mother and her child. I truly enjoyed the twist at the end. I also enjoyed reading about selkies!

“Who can say what they’d have done in her situation. She’s stronger than she knows. I tried to tell her that every day, too.”
“Was that the truth?” Grant asks.
Joseph smiles. “You ever see a tree that’s dying, it’s nothing but a bunch of dried out branches? You can talk to this tree, tell it all about how its leaves are growing green and healthy. Then you sit back and watch how it changes.”
― Ilie Ruby, The Language of Trees

“The saving grace is that some girls learn. They’ll grow wise to their own hearts meanderings. They’ll spot a train wreck miles away and they’ll run in the opposite direction. They’ll find good men to marry and go on to live good lives. But others will spend their lives compelled by the rescue. These women will become the forever disappointed, so much so that sometimes it will hurt to look them in the eye....”
