Book Overview
A teen returns to the small beach town she grew up in and falls for an irresistible boy who's hiding a secret more incredible than she could ever dream in this sweepingly romantic coming of age story steeped in folklore. Beckon the sea,
I'll come to thee....
Shed seven tears,
perchance seven years... Before scandal chased her family away from their seaside home, Gwen Cooke met a boy on the beach with unfathomably dark eyes who whispered strange things in her ear then disappeared. Seven years later, Gwen is seventeen years old and back in her hometown for the summer. Her official reason for coming is her grandmother asked her to, but deep inside, Gwen has always felt a tug pulling her back to the ocean and couldn't resist any longer. When she meets the enigmatic Jesse, Gwen falls head over heels despite his odder qualities that make him seem like something half-tamed--wilder than anyone she's ever met. With her grandmother's old tales of the sea and local folklore filling her ears, Gwen could almost believe Jesse is something other. But that's impossible...isn't it?

Wonderful Book

I just finished Seven Tears Into The Sea and had to let others know how wonderful this novel is. It is an enchanting story that has left me wanting a sequel. It can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. If you want to lose yourself in a book about the ocean, magic and love, this is worth reading.
It touched my heart

It was so beautifully writtent that I will never look at the sea the same ever agian. It makes you question your own heart and what you would do if you were in Gwen's position. I couldn't put it down since I read the first page.
Love conquers all

Seven Tears into the Sea was fantasy and real life mixed together.Gwen Cooke comes to stay with her grandmother over the summer but learns much more than she expected. Mirage Point, where she's staying, is where a mysterious past awaits her arrival. Her fears are replaced with love when she meets a boy from her past who sweeps her off her feet. Who is He? Why has he come back to this place? Seven tears in the sea will tell.It was beautifully written and I hope she writes many more.

Enjoyable and inviting a sequel

I read this while flying between Bangor and San Francisco. Ms. Farley was right to venture into new territory. She has written a highly enjoyable story about what is real and what isn't. Gwen has spent seven years trying to determine the difference while dealing uncomfortably with her perception of how others in her life view her following her mysterious encounter at the edge of the sea when she was ten. Now she is back, helping her grandmother at the inn overlooking the very spot where she encountered the mysterious boy in the midnight surf. Was he real; is he human or something else? This is a well-crafted story with believable characters and a smoothly flowing plot. It reminds me of Kotuku by Deborah Savage, another YA story I greatly enjoyed. This would be an excellent addition to any library YA collection or as a gift for someone who likes light fantasy. The ending invites a continuance.
