A "Must-Have" for Every Wonderful Woman in Your Life

Wow! I'm blown away by this book. "A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids" is a beautifully illustrated, beautifully produced little gem that should sit on every woman's nightstand. The author uses the archetype of the mermaid to share her journey of self-discovery with the reader. The book is as whimsical and entertaining, as it is wise and thought provoking. Every page depicts a different mermaid and eloquently describes a correlating life lesson with poignancy and humor. The lessons offer the modern woman sound advice in dealing with her various struggles. Often feeling like fish out of water (or Mermaids out of water), we strive to fit-in - to be all things to all people - to strike a balance in our hectic lives where we're expected to wear many hats simultaneously and wear them all fabulously. I immediately recognized myself in several of Margot Datz's mermaids and saw my girlfriends in many of the others. I am ordering a copy for every wonderful woman in my life!
