Memoirs of the Peppermint Mermaid

Leo Anderson is a teenager living two lives. In one life, he's learning to navigate conflict from his parents and peers. In the other, he can be himself, like what he likes and love who he loves. Can Leo find his true place in the world without judgment from his friends and family?

Leo's future is ultimately shaped by whether he encounters rejection and conflict or acceptance and support. Those who stand by him or against him, dehumanize him or lift him up, hurt him or heal him, all have a hand in the outcome of his life.

Memoirs of the Peppermint Mermaid is an inspiring and hopeful novel about the lasting ripple effects of our words, our reactions, and our choices that impact the lives of others.
