Joanne Guidoccio's book, Between Land and Sea is the story of a woman's journey. Not a typical journey as Isabella, aka Barbara Davies, was a mermaid. She is human now, on her own, her only lifeline a face on a tablet to connect to her past and give her guidance and assistance on how to cope on land in the small town of Carden, Canada. This once proud, eternally youthfully mermaid must now deal with a rather frumpy, middle age, overweight body. If she fails to find a mate within a year, when the electronic lifeline and free rent expires, she will be forced to fend for herself. This is a very interesting story of learning, adaptation, and growth as Barbara deals with her past mistakes and learns to live among humankind on her own.
