Waiting for Mermaids

Jack hadn't wanted to come on holiday at all. He couldn't see how coming to this almost deserted seaside town, with its delapidated beach chalets, was going to change anything. After what happened, it would take more than a holiday to dispel the sadness that engulfed the whole family. And Jack felt so alone, so cut off from the rest of them, desperate to be able to say something that would comfort them. But then he meets Emma, who seems to appear from nowhere, and she helps him realize that with time they can come to terms with the tragedy that has changed their lives forever...especially Jack's...
