What happens when Nya discovers that she is a magical, mythological creature from the depths of the sea? This inner mermaid calls to her in spite of the traumas she suffers above the waves. In fact, it is her one true escape from a family who doesn't understand her and constantly tries to tear down her self-confidence. It is only in the sea that she fully comes alive. Based on a true story, this spiritual awakening of one young woman who doesn't give up, is an inspiring lesson for us all when we think we are alone. I loved this mermaid's tail of a story about a young girl learning to fight back from the emotional shackles placed by the people closest to her. And she does it in the most unorthodox way.
