WHEN WE BELIEVED IN MERMAIDS by Barbara O'Neal * Read September 2nd - 5th, 2020

When We Believed in Mermaids
♥♥♥♥♥
Goodreads Says:  From the author of The Art of Inheriting Secrets comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.

Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news…

Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions—grief, loss, and anger—that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who’d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.

Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything.

A moving story of sisters,family, love and marriage. Full of mystery and intrigue. Highly recommend. This is my first book by this author.  It is in parts a sad story and an uplifting one. The story of two sisters who have an upbringing that leaves a lot to be desired. There is neglect and abuse.  This is a tragic tale, all around. It is primarily about two sisters and the scars they share - and the lengths they will both go to try to overcome them.

Highly recommend. This is my first book by this author. I recommend When We Believed in Mermaids. Verrrrrry gooooooooooood💔💔
