Leaving the Bronx far behind, she's headed for sunny Weeki Wachee Springs, frayed roadside attraction in danger of becoming obsolete with the opening of Walt Disney's latest creation, only miles up the road. Always more suited for a life underwater, Delores joins a group of other aquatic hopefuls in this City of Live Mermaids, where she discovers a world of sequined tails and amphibious theme shows that even Disney couldn't dream up. It's in this fantastic place of make-believe and reinvention that Delores Walker becomes Delores Taurus, Florida's most unlikely celebrity. Bringing together an eccentric assortment of outcasts, poseurs, and underdogs, this wise and poignant novel conjures up a time in America when anything was possible, especially in the Sunshine State. A story of family, chasing dreams and finding your way, <i>Swim To Me</i> will have you believing the impossible;even in mermaids from the Bronx. 469823 1 8 2007 Swim to Me total:292|5:23|4:85|3:126|2:48|1:10| 292 939 457 82 5 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 11:32:44 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 09 11:45:59 -0700 2007
