Daughters of the Sea: May

(3) YA Fifteen-year-old May's parents keep her holed up in their lighthouse, adamant that she stay away from the sea. On a clandestine swim, May discovers that she is a mermaid. May accepts this new identity, but a love interest, an aggressive fisherman, and a long-lost sister complicate her life. May's longing is palpable, and the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Maine island setting is evocative.
