Summary:
Veronica has had many surgeries to manage her disability. The best form of rehabilitation is swimming, so she spends hours in the pool, but not just to strengthen her body. Her Florida town is home to Mermaid Cove, a kitschy underwater attraction where professional mermaids perform in giant tanks and Veronica wants to audition. But her conservative Peruvian parents would never go for it. She learns her parents have been hiding the truth from her--the truth about her own body.
