In Cheryl Kaye Tardif’s bestselling and heart-wrenching Whale Song, haunting native legends merge with the modern world as two cultures collide, and a young woman struggles with her mother’s suicide.

Whale Song is a haunting tale of change and choice.

"Moving...sweet and sad" --Booklist

 In Cheryl Kaye Tardif’s heart-wrenching Whale Song, haunting native legends merge with the modern world as two cultures collide, and a young woman struggles with long-forgotten memories of her mother’s suicide.
 

"Whale Song is deep and true, a compelling story of love and family and the mysteries of the human heart.  Cheryl Kaye Tardif has written a beautiful, haunting novel." -- NY Times Bestselling novelist Luanne Rice, author of Beach Girls and What Matters Most

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?
 

*  *  *

Thirteen years ago, Sarah Richardson’s life was shattered when her mother committed suicide. The shocking tragedy left a grief-stricken teen-aged Sarah with partial amnesia.

Some things are easier to forget.

But now a familiar voice from her past sends Sarah, a talented mid-twenties ad exec, back to her past. A past that she had thought was long buried.

Some things are meant to be buried.

Torn by nightmares and visions of a yellow-eyed wolf, yet aided by the creatures of the Earth and by the killer whales that call to her in the night, Sarah must face her fears and uncover the truth―even if it destroys her.

Some things are meant to be remembered―at all cost. 

Whale Song is heading for its second printing after nearly selling out across North America!

If you haven't read this book yet, you must do so! I'm betting it will be a movie soon. Also, if you have a copy of the original cover, hang on to it. It'll be a collector's item!
