While she loves the rugged beauty of their isolated sanctuary—and dearly loves her grandparents—she yearns for her parents and finds her diabetes frightening and confusing. Mona finds solace in the treasures she collects along the island’s shores. But when she encounters a mysterious sea lion pup, Neo, the world as she knows it is forever changed.
