Helpful Score: 3

Beautifully written story of an ocean long-distance swimmer experiencing the colors, sounds, feelings of existing in the sea a short distance off shore. The true tale of a morning when the author encounters a baby whale separated from his mother and how the two swimmers establish a relationship while working against time to reunite the infant with his mother. A happy ending for all is a foregone conclusion; this story's beauty lies in the experience of an oceanic world -- the animals, the currents, the sights and sounds -- and the developing relationship between this young girl and baby whale and then his mother. I thoroughly enjoyed becoming submerged in a world completely alien to me. The author has marvelous descriptive talent.
