The authors take us back to early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we witness through the eyes of Dawn, who is in high school. Her world is upended by the lockdown and then by the news her older sister Kate has contracted COVID while at work on the frontlines. Overwhelmed by uncertainty, fear, and loneliness, Dawn seeks solace in Lake Huron, where mysteries of the deep make her questions and worries feel smaller.

The Lake Huron mermaid watches Dawn from afar, and discovers she longs for her own sister: the Lake Michigan mermaid, whom we were introduced to in the previous title of this series. Dawn and the Lake Huron mermaid then travel a great distance out of love for their sisters.
The authors, along with illustrator Meredith Ridl, have again given us a beautiful perspective on living through times of great change, when everything feels beyond our control.
I look forward to future Mermaid tales from Linda Foster and Anne-Marie Oomen.
