Lost Voices (MP3 format, CD)

The first book in a trilogy, "Lost Voices" is a captivating and wildly original tale about finding a voice, the healing power of friendship, and the strength it takes to forgive. Fourteen-year-old Luce has had a tough life but reaches the depths of despair when she is assaulted on the cliffs near an Alaskan village. She expects to die when she falls into the icy water, but instead she transforms into a mermaid. A tribe of mermaids finds and welcomes Luce in--all of them lost girls who surrendered their humanity in their darkest moments. Luce is thrilled with her new life until she discovers the catch: mermaids feel an uncontrollable desire to drown seafarers, using their enchanted voices to lure ships into the rocks. Luce struggles to retain her humanity, but will she win the fight?
