Summary:

"Twelve-year-old Clara lives on an island that visitors call exotic. But to Clara it's just...home. The only thing out of the ordinary is that after a hurricane hit, something happened to Clara's memory that made her forget everything from last summer. Sometimes things come back to her in drips, like a faucet that hasn't been turned off properly. Clara tries to move on, but it's hard when everyone on the island is treating her like she's broken...especially her best friend and cousin, Gaynah, who hasn't been acting like a best friend at all lately. But this year is going to be different. Everyone is buzzing with excitement over a new girl. She's about to make big waves on the island, waves that just might carry Clara to the truth about her missing memories...if she has the courage to remember it. Kereen Getten's deeply poignant debut is a powerful story about feeling like an outsider, weathering life's storms, and letting go." --From publisher.
