Lessons in the Power of Human Connection From ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’

Delia Owens’ best-selling novel, “Where the Crawdads Sing,” tells a compelling novel that follows the journey of Kya Clark, a young girl abandoned in the marshes of North Carolina.

Her survival skills are put to the test as she learns to navigate the treacherous waters of the marshes and become a skilled naturalist.

Delving deep into themes of isolation, prejudice, and the resilience of nature, the story explores Kya’s struggle to find her place in a world that has rejected her.

As you follow the story of Kya Clark, you start to see just how much of an impact other people can have on our lives.

What Empathy Can Do

The bond that Kya shares with Jumpin’ is one built on mutual respect and a shared experience of living as outsiders in a prejudiced society.

Throughout her life, Kya experiences multiple instances of abandonment, which leaves her with deep-seated trust issues.

Despite her solitude, Kya still values the importance of community. While only a few people have cared for her, these individuals have had a significant impact on her life.
