When Mermaids Die

Courage is not the absence of fear, but triumph over fear-a lesson Marnie Mathews must learn when as a recently divorced mother, she moves to Florida to begin a new life. In her quest to start over, she takes a job with a handsome entrepreneur and soon becomes entangled in a whirlwind romance. Her life is changed forever when she discovers his hidden past and realizes her life may be in jeopardy. It was a far different time in the 1960s for families and for women. Divorce was uncommon and battered women had few options escaping abusive husbands. It was a decade of change-the first man landed on the moon and the face of Florida was transformed with the new towns and cities mushrooming out of a tropical wilderness, designed and built by entrepreneurs-and a few charlatans. When Mermaids Die is the story of one woman's struggle as she searches for the strength and courage to finally direct her own destiny.
