SYNOPSIS Whale Song is a haunting tale of change and choice.
Cheryl Kaye Tardif’s beloved novel — a “wonderful novel that will make a wonderful movie” according to Writer’s Digest — releases as a special edition with all new scenes from the much-talked-about screenplay.
Don’t miss Whale Song, described as “a wise, enchanting story” by the Edmonton Examiner. Whale Song is a novel of dual personalities. It is both mystery novel and family drama. It is enchanting adventure and uplifting but tragic moral tale. Whale Song integrates the optimistic spiritualism of native myth and the hard realities of modern-day life.
The only witness to a tragedy loses her memory and an innocent may be in prison for the crime. Whale Song asks the difficult question, which is the higher morality — love or law?
"Poignant and compelling, a coming-of-age story that addresses important societal issues within a contemporary backdrop. Ms. Tardif has a writing style which is appealing and meaningful." Ian Anthony, Award Winning Author
