The sea was Maya's home before it became her fear.
At sixteen, she's always felt safest where the tide touches the shore - in the hush before sunrise, when the world still feels like hers. But when a wave nearly takes the life of someone she cares about, everything changes. The ocean that once held her begins to haunt her, its beauty now edged with danger.
While her best friend Chloe returns from holiday full of warmth and sunshine, Maya finds herself lost in the undertow of guilt and silence. Each wave reminds her of what she didn't do, each sunset of what she almost lost. But when another storm rolls in, Maya is faced with a choice: to keep running from the water - or to face what it took, and what it left behind.
Set against a shimmering coastal town, What The Tide Tried To Take is a bittersweet coming-of-age story about friendship, loss, and learning to forgive both the ocean and yourself.
Because sometimes the things that break us are the same things that teach us how to breathe again.
