Aarti has lived on the island with Aunt for as long as she can
remember.
Like the weather, Aunt rules her world with
rare warmth. Aarti's only comforts are a book of Indian myths full
of blue gods, a fox's friendship, and a toy rabbit she finds in
a locked room.
Then, she learns Aunt has been feeding
her lies. Fate intervenes when a half-drowned boy washes up on
the beach. With his help, Aarti hopes to remember who she really
is ... and perhaps find a way home.
