 y-source="MessageBody">Annie MacLeod always knew she was different\, growi
 ng up on a sailboat in the Pacific Northwest\, navigating by stars and swi
 mming with sea creatures alongside her parents and best friend Evan. But w
 hen a tsunami shatters her world\, Annie is stranded on land and forced to
  confront how eccentric she is. In the wreckage\, she rescues a wordless m
 an named Walker\, who emits a hum only she can hear.</div>\n<div></div>\n<
 div>Their connection is instant\, electric. Walker&rsquo\;s touch gives An
 nie visions of the ocean&rsquo\;s hidden world\, a life she&rsquo\;s never
  known but feels inexplicably drawn to. Yet even as she is pulled toward h
 im\, Evan&mdash\;the steadfast love who has always been there&mdash\;remai
 ns on dry land\, offering the stability she may have to leave behind. Anni
 e is torn between Evan&rsquo\;s grounding presence and Walker&rsquo\;s mag
 netic secrets. But then\, Walker vanishes\, along with the answers she nee
 ds about who she really is.</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>Six years later\, Ann
 ie has left the sea and buried the past&mdash\;until Walker&rsquo\;s other
 worldly sound returns\, pulling her back toward the ocean and the life she
  abandoned. The truth under the water is more ancient than she ever could 
 have known\, and Annie must confront a choice that will test her heart and
  determine her future.</div>\n<p><strong>EVENT DETAILS</strong></p>\n<p>Th
 e event is free to the public but due to limited seating registration is r
 equested.</p>\n<p>Kelly's books will be sold on site by The Book Loft.</p>
