Publisher's Synopsis
This enchanting story tells of two outsiders who find a deep kinship in each other. The Mer-Child with his pale green skin, surf-white hair, and shimmering tail is not fully accepted in the sea world or the human world. The Little Girl-child of a black mother and a white father -- has been ostracised both because of her race and because her legs are paralysed. The bind they weave, against all odds, becomes a wondrous celebration of our common capacity to love.
