When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'NealMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book takes us from Northern California to New Zealand, and is the search for family. Certainly it's not only about location (although the descriptions of the location were a favorite part of mine), it's also about finding room in one's heart for family.
As the book begins we meet Kit, an ER doctor living a very impermanent life in northern California. She gets quite a shock when she thinks she sees her dead sister on TV in New Zealand. Through flashbacks we learn about her unconventional childhood and why finding her sister is so important to her.
Overall, I liked the book. There were a few things that didn't quite add up for me, but I was able to suspend some cynicism because the book and its message are beautiful
