Staci Kya was one with nature. I think the ending proved that. She was a woman, a sucessful woman despite all of the obstacles thrown at her. But she was also- one with nature and her natural instincts kicked in combined with her intelligence and expert knowledge of the marsh.

Joy Since she was so anit-social, I didn't think her traveling back and forth between Greenville was something she would think to do - she was so naive about the world, it seemed unlikely that she'd have the inclination. That part was hard to believe.

Paula Hagar I was not at all surprised that Kya did it. I loved the ending.


message 4: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie I totally agree with Staci. As for whether she was the person on the bus... probably? My guess is she was even more stealthy than that.


message 5: by Rachel (new)

Rachel It made more sense to me that (like someone else implied somewhere in these comments,) it happened on a totally different day, like when she slept in that cabin to avoid Chase finding her in her own house.

Laurel In my mind, it was self-defense - not murder.


message 7: by George (new)

George Stephanie: She had to be. And what more stealthy transport that was available would have been fast enough.?

Rachel: The timeline is quite clear that the murder happened when it was assumed to have.

MaryAlice "life also taught her that ancient genes for survival still persist in some undesirable forms " Kaya pondered those thoughts, along with thoughts of how female insects knew how to get rid of the males after sex.

She wrote a poem about the hea having chosen her path, that to me, lead to her using the only means of survival ~ death to her adviserity.

Although she claimed not to hate, she likely had built up years of hatred; of the father beating her mother forcing mom to abandon her; towards the siblings that left her alone with the abusive father.

She told Jodie, "you were just a a kid, too," yet how could he leave a six year old beyond when he fled the father's brutality?
