Selkie Girl by Laurie Brooks

Elin Jean was borned with webbed hands, something that always made the other children on her island distrust and torment her. As a coming of age young woman, she feels a stronger connection to land and sea, and especially to the seals that inhabited the waters of her home, than she for most of the people she knows, though she thinks often of a handsome young gypsy and hopes that he also thinks of her.

The discovery of a mysterious seal skin changes Elin Jean's life forever, opening for her the door to an entirely different world. There is a destiny that awaits her, something important that only she can do, and she must face certain challenges and overcome much adversity to find out what it is.
