Siren of the Finger Lakes

Siren of the Finger Lakes is an illustrated work of regional mythology for adult readers, told through the clear-eyed voice of Liv, a nine-year-old returning to Livingston County after two years away from home.As she moves through the hills, shorelines, and shifting seasons of the Finger Lakes, Liv begins to sense something unusual about the region, the way the lakes seem to listen, the ridgelines seem to watch, and the wind carries something older than memory.Rooted in the sensory world of western New York, the story blends everyday life with an emerging folklore shaped by the Siren of the Finger Lakes, a presence felt in the stillness, in the water's pull, and in the hush that settles over the land just before dusk. The land itself seems to remember her, guiding Liv toward what lies beneath the familiar.A regional glossary, seasonal recipes, and place-rooted notes deepen the world and invite readers to carry the spirit of the Finger Lakes beyond the final page.Illustrated by Jennifer Sullivan. Published by The Siren Current Press.
