Words and numbers on the page don't make sense to her, and strange maladies have been springing up that the doctors can't explain.

But one day Annie asks her mother for a different tale, something with better truth in it--and on that same day a stranger in town, drawn to the sight of a girl who seems akin to the sea, helps Annie understand how special she is."--From the publisher.
