A baby girl is rescued from the sea on Nantucket and raised by the island family who find her among the rocks and seaweed. Natalie grows into a thoughtful young woman with a remarkable voice, and the story follows her journey westward and out into the wider world, through sorrows, a music master’s tutelage and questions of her own origins.
