    About this ebook

    Isolated in a forest pool and unable to walk on land, a water being longs to end her loneliness. When one of the humans who visits the pool, Evelyn, drowns, the being discovers that she and Evelyn have the same face. And gains a human body of her own.

     

    Taking the situation as an opportunity, the being feigns amnesia and tries to slip into Evelyn's life. But the obstacles are as many as the joys: family, boyfriend, the use of her new legs, and the water itself.

     

    The biggest obstacle, though, is Evelyn herself. After a lifetime on the outside, is it really possible to live as one born on the inside?

     

    And can that inside truly be considered home?

    Thea van Diepen

    Thea van Diepen spent the first ten years of her life on a tree-wrapped acreage where an inquisitive child might believe in magic. Nowadays, she lives in a small city in Alberta, breathing life into characters and worlds and the stories they tell.  She’s been published in the Tesseracts anthology series, and her works include the White Changeling series, The Kitten Psychologist series, and the interactive short story The Tree and the Grave. Her website is theavandiepen.com, and she can be contacted via that site, in English or French. If you do contact her in French, though, please don’t ask her to count in it as she tends to skip numbers ending in six entirely by accident.
