Way Of The Whale [Paperback]

When I was three years old, I was kidnapped and bound, ripped from my home, and forced to do tricks for the amusement of Others.

A rogue killer whale has been hidden in the rear pool of a theme park. When a baby orca is placed in the holding tank beside him, he knows that the little one's life is about to change forever. The older whale has just one night to pass down the hard-won lessons of his experience and to seize an unexpected chance for love and redemption. But will he be able to impart the wisdom of the Ancestors before it's too late?

Linda Peters draws on our fascination with the mysteries of the sea to weave an inspirational tale of hope and healing for all captive creatures. The orca whale in this metaphysical novel is more than just an employee and performer for a profit-driven corporation. He is a spiritual teacher tasked with spreading ancient truths. Part self-help book and part psychological thriller, this story of personal transformation will speak to anyone who has ever felt trapped and alone, and needed some help to find a way out.

Excerpt:

Prologue

I watched the Others separate the little orca from his mother. I witnessed the struggle, the clever distraction, the emotional damage that remained after the nets and poles had been put away.

It's not often that I have a visitor, that another killer whale is placed in the adjoining pool for any length of time. This anxious little one was patrolling the perimeter, looking for a way out and sending disturbed drops of water in my direction. I could feel that he was scared, that he was reluctant to speak, that he was uneasy about being trapped next to a much bigger male. I stared through the steel bars that separated us and looked for an opening. I connected with my truth, connected with my ancestors, connected with the calmness in my heart and started to softly sing to him.

Abandonment

Don't fret, little one. I know itl£o
