It's Always Been Me - Megan Walrod

Right after Sabina watches her rock star husband walk out on their marriage, a phone call reveals that her beloved grandmother is in the ICU in Santa Cruz, CA. So, Sabina hits the road with a tear-stained face, a bad hangover, and no plan for her future. After arriving, she rediscovers a number of old loves: ocean swimming, process painting, and a high school sweetheart named Graham - all of which force her to reckon with how she buried her dream of being an artist to support her husband. But strange things are afoot. Sabina hears a mysterious voice and wonders if it''s a Selkie, one of the mythical shape-shifting seal folk from her grandmother''s tales. The voice seems to be guiding her, but can she trust it? While her marriage and her grandmother''s health deteriorate, Sabina returns to her painting, asking big questions: Is it too late to live her dream? Must she choose between her dream and love? And is the voice she''s hearing a sign she''s lost it or a key to unlocking her true self?
