The marsh knows her name. The tide remembers her bloodline. And time is beginning to turn.
Thirteen-year-old Alana Lannie Jenkins has grown up surrounded by the salt marshes of St. Helena Island, South Carolina. But one night, the tide stops moving.
Then the marsh calls her name.
What begins with an impossible message carved into an old dock draws Lannie into a mystery reaching across generations. Her grandmother, Ora, knows more than she has ever admitted. A mysterious stranger from Savannah seems untouched by time. An ancestor named Ama reaches toward Lannie from another century. And beneath it all waits the Turn-an ancient force where time, memory, names, and the past refuse to remain separate.
As the boundary between generations begins to open, Lannie discovers that her family is connected to something the Lowcountry has remembered for generations.
And the Tide wants something from her.
Her name.
To keep it, Lannie must uncover what happened to those who came before her-and discover what it truly means to carry a name the Tide cannot take.
Gullah Time: The River Remembers is Book One of The Gullah Time Chronicles, a supernatural Southern Gothic fantasy exploring ancestry, family, identity, memory, and the mysteries carried by the land and water.
