Martha Moore
UNDER THE MERMAID ANGEL
Mass Market Paperback
(Laurel Leaf April 7, 1997)
Thirteen-year-old Jesse leads a pretty boring life in just about the most boring place in the universe--otherwise known as Ida, Texas. The most exciting place in Ida is Mr. Arthur's Wax Museum, where the main attraction is a (slightly damaged) replica of the Last Supper. But then Roxanne sweeps into the trailer next door. Thirty years old, with her wild red hair and a liberty bell tattooed on her chest, she and Jesse are the most unlikely friends. But through Roxanne, Jesse begins to see a world beyond the peeling paint of the trailer park, where heart language matters more than out-loud language and loss is not the end of love.
