Gold Medal winner at The Bookfest Awards for Magic, Legend & Lore - Bronze medal winner for Women's Historical Fiction Artist Margaret Talbot has overcome prejudice and discrimination to become a magazine illustrator at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1901, she suffers a miscarriage that nearly takes her life. Her husband, John, withdraw all emotional and physical contact. Margaret finds she can no longer express that certain something she seeks to say in her paintings and begins to question if she really is an artist. The Talbots come to a small fishing village where Margaret meets many people. One of these is a young woman named Sara who skips, sings nonsense songs and has trouble understanding everyday things, like how wagon wheels go around. Margaret fears Sara suffered a childhood trauma and is hiding from the real world but some in the village say Sara is a selkie, a magical being from Celtic mythology who walks on the land as a human and swims in the sea as a seal. With the influence of the villagers, and her own self-determination, Margaret strives to discover who she is and want she wants from life.
