About this work & edition details

In this seafaring fantasy, a soft-spoken and empathic teen must chart her own course to rescue the ruthless pirate who raised her. If there’s one thing Thea Fowler has learned from her mother, it’s that the only way for a woman to survive in a man’s world is to make herself invulnerable. Strength, after all, is how Clementine Fowler became one of the most notorious pirates the world has ever known. Unfortunately, Thea has always been soft where her mother is hard, and the weight of Clementine’s legacy threatens to pull her under. So when she meets a handsome sailor who sees her sensitivity as a boon rather than a weakness, Thea leaps at the chance for a new life. But it’s not long before first love leads to first betrayal, and Thea discovers that if she is going to survive, she must learn to define strength on her own terms. Combining a gripping adventure with lyrical prose, The Sea Knows My Name invites readers to question the many myths we cling to when it comes to strength and survivorship.
