Where the Crickets Sing (original Novel of "the Girl in the Swamp")
About This Novel
One by one, family members left. From the age of ten, she lived alone in the desolate wetlands of the North Carolina coast, driving a small boat and making a living by hunting and collecting wild animals to sell to people at the dock. She only went to school for one day and was what the town residents called a "wetland girl", a wild girl outside of civilized society. When the town's most popular playboy is found dead in a wetland, suspicion is immediately cast on her. A natural wetland biologist, she draws life lessons from the land and learns from the dishonest signals of fireflies how the world really works. At the age of longing for touch and love, she was attracted by two young people from a small town, and she opened her heart to a new life... A few years later, she became a local legend and the business card of the small town tourism industry. But this book is not about an inspirational story of a girl overcoming obstacles and heading towards the bright future. The desolate wetland raised the girl and shaped her. Her choices about love and life follow the call of the wilderness rather than the teachings of civilized society.
