Swimming For Sunlight
by Allie Larkin
HAPPY PUBLISHING DAY!
When Nan shows Katie photos from her youth as a mermaid performer (based on the real Weeki Wachee mermaids in Florida), Katie begins a quest to reunite the long-lost mermaids and produce a reunion show—while attempting to overcome her fear of water that stems from a childhood tragedy. As nervous Bark struggles to acclimate and an old love reenters the picture, Katie struggles to balance her hopes with her anxiety and realizes just how much Bark’s fears are connected to her own. Swimming for Sunlight is an endearing novel about hope, loss, and friendships (both human and canine) that connect us and span generations.
