May feels her life drying up. The sea calls to her, but her
parents forbid her from swimming. She longs for books, but
her mother finds her passion for learning strange. She
yearns for independence, but a persistent suitor, Rudd,
wants to tame her spirited ways. Yet after her fifteenth
birthday, the urge to break free becomes overpowering and
May makes a life-changing discovery. She does not belong on
land where girls are meant to be obedient. She is a
mermaid-a creature of the sea.

For the first time, May learns what freedom feels like-the
thrill of exploring both the vast ocean and the previously
forbidden books. She even catches the eye of Hugh, an
astronomy student who, unlike the townspeople, finds May
anything but strange. But not everyone is pleased with May's
transformation. Rudd decides that if can't have May, no one
will. He knows how to destroy her happiness and goes to
drastic measures to ensure that May loses everything: her
freedom and the only boy she's ever loved.
