In Barbara O'Neal's When We Believed in Mermaids, Kit and Josie are sisters two years apart. They grew up wild and untended on a beach in northern California. Their parents were passionate and inattentive. Now grown, Kit has made a good life for herself- she is a successful ER doctor and she surfs and takes care of her mother. They are both shaken when the see Josie's face on the news half a world away from where she died years before. Kit is now determined to find out if she's seeing ghosts or if, just maybe, her sister is still alive.
This book was a quick, entertaining read. It wasn't perfect and there were flaws, but I really liked it. I read this for book club and it supplied plenty of good discussion. I would recommend this for a vacation read- the beaches and traveling to a far off destination make it a great addition to your carry on.
