Recently author L.K. Madigan shared the difficult news that she’s losing her battle with cancer.  Upon hearing of her struggle a small group of blogger friends decided to show our support by posting reviews, tributes, and giveaways.  Today I am lucky to share with one lucky reader a copy of The Mermaid’s Mirror.  To check out the posts of my blogging friends also paying tribute click on the links below.

You can also see a really lovely post from the 2009 Debutantes in which they pay tribute to L.K. Madigan and announce a pretty tremendous giveaway.

In case you are unsure of what this book is about, here’s a description (from the publisher) of the book you have the opportunity to win:

Lena has lived her whole life near the beach — walking for miles up and down the shore and breathing the salty air, swimming in the cold water, and watching the surfers rule the waves — the problem is, she’s spent her whole life just watching.
As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Lena vows she will no longer watch from the sand: she will learn to surf.

But her father — a former surfer himself — refuses to allow her to take lessons. After his near drowning years ago, he can’t bear to let Lena take up the risky sport.

Yet something keeps drawing Lena to the water . . . an ancient, powerful magic. And one morning Lena catches sight of this magic: a beautiful woman — with a silvery tail.

Now nothing can stop Lena from seeking the mermaid, not even the dangerous waves at Magic Crescent Cove.

And soon . . . what she sees in the mermaid’s mirror will change her life forever.
