Bethany C. Morrow gives a story that is both fantastical and rooted in the harsh reality of the #SayHerName movement with A Song Below Water. 

In a world where Black girls and women are routinely pushed to the side when it comes to talking about police brutality and the overall injustices Black people endure, things are worse because the feared supernatural beings known as sirens also happen to be Black. Tavia is one such siren, forced to conceal her identity lest it give the public reason to say "she got what she deserved" if she were ever to fall victim to violence. This becomes even more important when a woman who was recently murdered is revealed to be a siren and the public turns against her, siding with the man who took her life. As Tavia navigates these increasingly dangerous waters, her adopted sister Effie is forced to embark on a journey of self-discovery to find out who, and what, she really is. Together they find the strength to face hardships and come out the other side stronger than ever.
