When we believed in mermaids

How would you feel if you were watching TV and saw your sister in the background of a news story about a nightclub fire in a foreign country…your sister who has been dead for the last fifteen years?

That is exactly what happens to Kit Bianci, an ER doctor, who grew up in Santa Cruz surfing the waves with her sister. Was it really her sister on the news? It sure looked like her. Kit’s emotions of grief, loss and anger run high; deep down she knows what she must do. After scheduling vacation time from the hospital, Kit boards a plane to New Zealand to see if she can locate her sister and the truth.

Josie Bianci was killed years ago during a terrorist attack on a train. At least that is what everyone thinks. Now living as Mari Edwards in New Zealand with a husband and children, Josie fights within herself of a past life of hurt which keeps her from contacting her beloved sister. She misses all their times together surfing the local beaches and creating their own fairytale mermaid stories. But the hurt is deep and it’s sharp. What happened to change it all for the sisters? Will Kit and Josie find each other in New Zealand, and will they be able to repair the damage done so many years ago.
