Swimming in Starlight - Paperback

Toddy's mind raced; the mermaid didn't look like the wily sea-vixen they said she would be. He wasn't quite sure what a sea-vixen ought to look like, but when he looked at her face, her features had the same soft roundness as his younger sister, which didn't seem quite right.

Young Toddy Windle was not someone given to flights of fancy; in fact, his greatest wish in life was to avoid following in his father's carpenter footsteps by becoming a fisherman. However, his life is changed forever one morning when he discovers a mermaid tangled in his fishing net. What begins as a strange and somewhat troublesome encounter quickly blossoms into a friendship that spans generations of the Windle family.

Guided by the mermaid's influence, Toddy and his descendants embark on a journey of love and growth as they discover the subtle magics of a world that humans have long forgotten.

Among the townsfolk of their village by the sea, the family is often thought of as strange or other, but what is that when compared to the affections of a mermaid and access to a world full of wonder?

Follow the Windle family over one hundred and fifty years, as the threads of their lives intertwine to reveal an important truth: our stories shape our reality.
