Publisher's Synopsis
Evelyn has a husband who adores her, three wonderful children, a fulfilling career, and a past which harbors a secret she denies even to herself. After ten years of a perfect marriage, Evelyn's husband, Sam, discovers her secret within the pages of a forgotten journal. Overwhelmed by a sense of betrayal, he can no longer live with Evelyn and wants her out of his life. As Sam searches through Evelyn's past, looking for a way to gain full custody of their three children, Evelyn must face her fears and a past of violence and death. Mermaid Drowning is a powerful story of family upheaval, but at its heart it is far more. It is a riveting and thought-provoking look into the lies we tell ourselves, what it means to be family, and a love that defies the bonds of death.
