Barnum&#8217;s American Museum as the real Fiji mermaid. However, leaving the museum may be harder than leaving the sea ever was.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Once there was a mermaid who longed to know of more than her ocean home and her people. One day a fisherman trapped her in his net but couldn&#8217;t bear to keep her. But his eyes were lonely and caught her more surely than the net, and so she evoked a magic that allowed her to walk upon the shore. The mermaid, Amelia, became his wife, and they lived on a cliff above the ocean for ever so many years, until one day the fisherman rowed out to sea and did not return.<\/p>\n<p>P. T. Barnum was looking for marvelous attractions for his American Museum, and he&#8217;d heard a rumor of a mermaid who lived on a cliff by the sea. He wanted to make his fortune, and an attraction like Amelia was just the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Amelia agreed to play the mermaid for Barnum, and she believes she can leave any time she likes. But Barnum has never given up a money-making scheme in his life, and he&#8217;s determined to hold on to his mermaid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christinahenry.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/23316414_2133607799998001_2876934809192636257_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christinahenry.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/23316414_2133607799998001_2876934809192636257_n.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.christinahenry.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/23316414_2133607799998001_2876934809192636257_n-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can add THE MERMAID to your Goodreads list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36358268-the-mermaid?from_search=true\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mermaid-Christina-Henry-ebook\/dp\/B075WDH86P\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1507731605&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the%20mermaid%20christina%20henry\">Amazon Kindle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mermaid-Christina-Henry\/dp\/0399584048\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=1507731605&amp;sr=8-1&amp;dpID=318M8Db%252BrLL&amp;preST=_SX258_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=detail\">Amazon Paperback<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-mermaid-christina-henry\/1127142527?ean=9780399584046\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/search?id=7077319601758&amp;query=Christina%20Henry%2C%20The%20Mermaid&amp;where=All\">Books-A-Million<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780399584046\">Indiebound<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mystgalaxy.com\/book\/9780399584046\">Mysterious Galaxy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-mermaid-13\">Kobo<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so thrilled to share the beautiful cover of THE MERMAID with you!
