Swim to Me by Betsy Carter


This was a quiet adult novel that is really, really good. I truly care for young Delores Walker. She strikes out on her own to be a mermaid in an underground water show in Florida and becomes a star weather woman. She's more mature than her own mother, and Delores has to decide what to do with her much younger brother. And what should she do about her dad who left them all a few years ago? Take him back? Welcome him?

Quiet is the best word for this little gem. I had a happy feeling when I finished it, although it definitely isn't a chick lit book. It's drama at its best.
