SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A FABULOUS PAIR OF SHOES—AND A LITTLE HELP FROM A MERMAID. Formerly an up-and-coming magazine editor, Jenny Lipkin is now your average, stretched-too-thin Brooklyn mom, tackling the challenges of raising two children in a cramped Park Slope walk-up. All she really wants is to survive the sweltering New York summer with a shred of sanity intact. But when her husband, Harry, vanishes one evening, Jenny reaches her breaking point. And in a moment of despair, a split-second decision changes her life forever. Pulled from the brink by an unexpected ally, Jenny is forced to rethink her ideas about success, motherhood, romance, and relationships. But confronting her inner demons is no easy task. . .

I loved this inventive, wonderfully written tale of a single mother who finds herself seeing through new eyes. It was a great book with a wonderful story!

This sounds interesting!
I had heard of this book before, but I didn't even look at what it was about because of the whole mermaid thing in the title. It actually sounds like a book that I would enjoy though so I'm glad I saw your review!
