Our June Book Club selection is WHEN WE BELIEVED IN MERMAIDS (2019, Lake Union Publishing) by Barbara O'Neal. 

From goodreads.com:
"From the author of THE ART OF INHERITING SECRETS comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.

"Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news…

"Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions—grief, loss, and anger—that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

"After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who’d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.

"Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything."

Please join us via Zoom on Thursday, June 24, at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome. See moonlakelibrary.org/bookclub for the Zoom link.
