Synopsis In this remarkable true story, Lynne Cox describes a magical morning when, as a 17-year-old, she realizes that an 18-foot baby gray whale is swimming behind her--if she tries to return to shore, he will be beached and die. Despite the 50-degree temperature, Cox must find the baby's mother so that the whales can continue their journey to the Bering Sea. Cox alternates between recounting the event, providing fascinating details about whales (a baby drinks up to 50 gallons of milk a day), and describing how the unexpected encounter had a profound impact on her philosophy of life.
