"Ren Yu is a swimmer. Her daily life starts and ends with the pool. . . . If she swims well enough, she will be scouted, get a scholarship, go to a good school. Her parents will love her. Her coach will be kind to her. She will have a good life. But these are human concerns. These are the concerns of those confined to land, those with legs. Ren grew up on stories of creatures of the deep, of the oceans and the rivers. . . . Ones of the creature that she's always longed to become: mermaid. Ren aches to be in the water. . . . And she will do anything she can to make a life for herself where she can be free. No matter the pain. No matter what anyone else thinks. No matter how much blood she has to spill"--OCLC.
