In "The Sea in Winter" by Christine Day, the story follows a young Native American girl named Daisy who grapples with the challenges of growing up and the complexities of her identity. After a knee injury sidelines her from dance, Daisy feels lost and disconnected from her passion. As she embarks on a journey of healing, she reconnects with her culture, family, and the comforting embrace of the ocean. Through a blend of personal struggles and cultural heritage, Daisy learns about resilience, the importance of community, and the strength found in embracing both her dreams and her roots.
