520 _a"Mermaid" by Grant M. Overton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Mermaid, who is rescued after surviving the wreck of the ship "Mermaid" and adopted by a Coast Guard captain, John Smiley. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, family dynamics, and the complexities of nurturing a child in a rough and rugged environment. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Keturah Smiley, Cap’n John’s sister, who has a contentious relationship with him. Their dialogue reveals a backstory filled with tension, jealousy, and a hint of familial love, particularly regarding the mysterious disappearance of John's wife and child. The young girl, Mermaid, is being cared for by the men at the Coast Guard station after being saved from the wreck. As the Coast Guard crew begins to bond with her, the novel hints at deeper adventures and conflicts that will unfold as they navigate their new roles and relationships, setting the stage for both heartfelt moments and impending challenges.
