Description
Grayson is a moving memoir about a remarkable encounter with a baby gray whale in the Pacific Ocean. Seventeen-year-old Lynne Cox was swimming back to the pier after a workout when she found herself surrounded by an enormous creature - a white shark, or so it seemed. In reality, it was a young calf in distress. Lynne's decision to help the whale had far-reaching consequences, and her story is both a mystery and a magical tale of the natural world. With its themes of survival, compassion, and the human connection with nature, Grayson is a celebration of the ocean's power and beauty. This book shares Lynne Cox's remarkable experience - part personal account, part exploration of the natural world - and offers a unique perspective on the impact that encounters with wildlife can have on our lives.
