Charming Grace: A Novel Audiobook, by Deborah Smith
Sweet Hush Audiobook, by Deborah Smith

Publisher Description

Shy, charming, peculiar, and web-toed, Alice Riley has suffered for years at the hands of her dead mother's self-righteous family, while she hides a bevy of secret abilities. When Alice rescues a drowning child, her amazing talents are exposed. Alice can remain underwater for extraordinary periods of time, and she can locate submerged objects through some type of natural sonar ability.

Her new fame/notoriety puts Alice in the national news, amidst allegations that she has somehow faked or manipulated the rescue for her own glory. Alice is trapped and desperate until three amazing older women arrive in her hometown. They are the regal and flamboyant Bonavendier sisters -dignified Lilith, acerbic Mara, and whimsical Pearl - of Sainte's Point Island, their ancestral home off the coast of Georgia. They've read Alice's story in the news and are convinced that she is their long-lost (and much younger) half sister, conceived in a reckless seduction their elderly father confessed to before he died.

Like Alice, the Bonavendier sisters have webbed toes and certain amazing abilities, though none of them have Alice's marked talent for finding things underwater. Alice is no oddity to them. They explain that - like them - she is descended from a mermaid.

"I actually enjoyed this book thoroughly. The thought of living mermaids and mermen in modern day society is totally charming to me. I don't like writing reviews with spoilers, so I'll just leave it at that. I loved the story line, and the authors details and imagery. A vry enjoyable read. "

    " Odd book, took a while to get into, but once I was into it, it seemed to hold my attention. This is part of a series, but I am not sure I will go back for the next book. "

    " This was like a grown-up style fairy tale. I enjoyed all the characters, especially Alice, the main character, who is alone at first but things will change. Maybe there really are mermaids? : ) "

    " I was immediately absorbed into this tale of mermaids. It is not a book I would normally pick up but I am glad that I did. It had imagination and that is what made me smile when I read this story that was far fetched but full of heart. "

    " This is a beautiful book about love (familial as well as romantic), honor, sacrifice, and self-discovery. Its combination of Southern charm and magical realism remind me of Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells; it should also appeal to fans of Alice Hoffman. "
