At last, the much anticipated 50th book by Darlene Franklin! Noble Prescott is drawn to the scene of a shipwreck by a sweet song sung in a language he didn’t understand. The songstress is barely alive, holding onto a piece of the ship’s railing. Her dress wraps around her legs like a mermaid’s tail. Thus begins this imaginative retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale. Justine Battineaux, an Acadian forced from her homeland on Cape Breton Island by British decree, finds herself adrift in the Maine colony. She doesn’t know the language and is distrusted as a foreigner. Noble lives up to his name, providing shelter for Justine—and protection, as distrust turns into danger. For himself, his family—and the woman he comes to love. How will Justine and Noble overcome the evil woman’s schemes to find their own love everlasting?
