Women's Fiction
More than a century ago, lighthouse keeper Linus Harris left
his beloved wife and waded into the ocean with three other
men to reunite with their mermaid lovers. The mysterious
Mermaid Mutiny of 1888 has become legend for the residents
of Cradle Harbor, Maine, honored by the town�s Mermaid
Festival every August, when wind chimes are hung from
seaside porches to drown out the alluring sound of mermaid song. For thirty-five-year-old Tess Patterson, the legend is more
than folklore; it�s proof of life�s magic. A hopeless
romantic who is profoundly connected to the ocean in which
she lost her mother, Tess ekes out a living as a wood-carver
and longs to find a love as mystical as the sea. But when
she�s hired to carve the commemorative mermaid sculpture for
the coming festival, a chance to win the town�s elusive
acceptance might finally be in her grasp. For Tom Grace, life�s magic was lost at eighteen, when the
death of his parents left him to care for his reckless
brother, Dean. Now thirty-five and the new owner of Cradle
Harbor�s prized lightkeeper�s house, Tom hopes the quiet
town will calm Dean�s self-destructive ways. But when Tom
discovers Tess working on her sculpture, an unlikely and
passionate affair ignites between them that just might be
the stuff of legend itself�even as it brings to the surface
a long-buried secret that could tear everything apart.
