When recently divorced Katie Ellis and her rescue dog
Bark move back in with Katie’s grandmother in Florida, she
becomes swept up in a reunion of her grandmother’s troupe of
underwater performers—finding hope and renewal in unexpected
places, in this sweet novel perfect for fans of Kristan
Higgins and Claire Cook. Aspiring costume designer Katie gave up everything in her
divorce to gain custody of her fearful, faithful rescue dog,
Barkimedes. While she figures out what to do next, she heads
back to Florida to live with her grandmother, Nan. But Katie quickly learns there’s a lot she doesn’t know
about Nan—like the fact that in her youth Nan was a mermaid
performer in a roadside attraction show, swimming and
dancing underwater with a close-knit cast of talented women.
Although most of the mermaids have since lost touch, Katie
helps Nan search for her old friends on Facebook, sparking
hopes for a reunion show. Katie is up for making some
fabulous costumes, but first, she has to contend with her
crippling fear of water. As Katie’s college love Luca, a documentary filmmaker,
enters the fray, Katie struggles to balance her hopes with
her anxiety, and begins to realize just how much Bark’s
fears are connected to her own, in this thoughtful, charming
novel about hope after loss and friendships that span
generations.
