Description
In this transcendent tale of self-discovery, Jessie Sullivan is called back to her unconventional family home on Egret Island, a place steeped in mystery and the allure of the sea. Drawn to the enigmatic mermaid chair, a relic of local legend, Jessie finds herself at a crossroads between her established life and an unexpected, burgeoning desire. As she navigates the island's unique community and its breathtaking natural beauty, Jessie confronts the powerful forces of home, marriage, and the yearning for a freedom that feels profoundly right. This journey of introspection will not only unravel the secrets of her mother's past but will ultimately lead Jessie to uncover her own true self and a sense of belonging.
