Foam On The Crest Of Waves

By Silke Stein

Abalone Macklintock has one simple goal: joining the merpeople at the bottom of the ocean the moment she turns fifteen. She has loathed her life on land ever since a mysterious boating incident claimed her mother and uncle. Burdened with memories she cannot share with anybody, Abalone finds temporary solace in diving and collecting sea glass. Her father and her disabled aunt, though, still suffer from the loss of their spouses, and neither has any inkling that the girl they love is waiting for the day she can abandon them.

When Abalone beats up a teenage boy in a local coffee shop a few days prior to her fifteenth birthday, her small family is finally forced to deal with their secrets. Will Abalone's father and aunt be able to seize their chances for love and healing―and will the very boy she attacked manage to rip Abalone out of her dangerous dream world before she moves on to dwell in the sea?
