Lana Prentis is 17 years old and has some unusual physical challenges: she has white hair, silver eyes, milky-white skin and webbed fingers and toes. She lives on Safe Harbor Island off the Coast of North Carolina. Her father (Cole Prentis) is the lighthouse keeper and also the keeper of many secrets. He told Lana that her mother drowned when Lana was only three years old, and he never allows her in the water. But when Lana's P.E. Teacher (Miss Rose Perry) secretly gives Lana swimming lessons, it sets off a chain of events that leads Lana to discover the truth about herself and her mother. Lana learns her true life's purpose, that her heritage is as rich and deep as the sea - and that her future lies beneath it.Cover Art: Creativindie Book Covers

Lighthearted, enchanting, and interesting, this book kept my attention the whole way through. Compared to all the vampire, zombie, apocalyptic, and other types of dark-themed books which are out there, this book is a welcome relief. It focuses a lot on relationships, family, and other warm topics, but also includes secrecy, suspense, and other such topics. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves stories about mermen/mermaids.

Couldn't get enough of this book! Sheri L Swift is a master of fanciful writing. Reminds me of a more modern, female version of Tolkien. A friend of mine let me borrow this book and I loved it so much I had to buy my own copy. It was like a breath of fresh air. Something very different and wholesome. Wonderful book for preteens and young teens and the occasional adult like me who never really grew up and quit believing in mermaids.
