Step into the world of luscious femininity floating in rich tones and wisdom as deep as the ocean. This is not only a survival guide but a guide to owning all our myriad facets as women and mermaids. A guide to a return to our power as women owning our sensuality. Revel in Margot's sage wisdom and insight and absolutely plunge into the fabulous paintings and experience the world of deep waters and frilly lace, shells and sea creatures, awash in humor and delicacy. An utter delight from beginning to end. A must have for every self respecting landlocked mermaid.

A "Must-Have" for Every Wonderful Woman in Your Life April 4, 2008

Wow! I'm blown away by this book. "A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids" is a beautifully illustrated, beautifully produced little gem that should sit on every woman's nightstand. The author uses the archetype of the mermaid to share her journey of self-discovery with the reader. The book is as whimsical and entertaining, as it is wise and thought provoking.
Every page depicts a different mermaid and eloquently describes a correlating life lesson with poignancy and humor. The lessons offer the modern woman sound advice in dealing with her various struggles. Often feeling like fish out of water (or Mermaids out of water), we strive to fit-in - to be all things to all people - to strike a balance in our hectic lives where we're expected to wear many hats simultaneously and wear them all fabulously.
I immediately recognized myself in several of Margot Datz's mermaids and saw my girlfriends in many of the others. I am ordering a copy for every wonderful woman in my life!
