Maris is about to learn the truth behind the family taboo against salt water.

About Deb Logan
Chapter 1
Families. They’re all weird in their own special ways. Take mine for example: very small — just me and Dad; with one major phobia — salt water. But I was about to break free of the family taboo. I couldn’t wait!
I settled my backpack on my shoulders, slipped into the crowded, narrow aisle of the economy section of the 737 airplane, and followed Emma toward the exit.

I’d spent my whole life in Wichita, Kansas, as far from salt water as Mom and Dad could manage and still live in the continental United States. I knew all about wheat farming and cattle ranching, but I’d only seen the ocean in television shows and movies.
Mom’s phobia of salt water was over the top. I never knew why; she wouldn’t talk about it. I supposed Dad knew,
