Frank About the stories: Unwanted.  Three boys grew up in an orphanage, abandoned and despised by those who should have taken care of them. They were starved, hit, and abandoned for years.

Ice Mermaid A Salt for Air Novella Written by: M.C. Frank Ice Mermaid is a short and sweet story of learning to love. While she does not like the title, Darius gives Lorelei the name Ice Mermaid as a perfect representation of her heart.

The setting of Poseidon's home and the sinking of the Titanic contrast well as the story progresses between the different scenes. It is a perfect little mermaid story for a short, thought-provoking read.
