Quickly assessing the situation, Marc Doucette saves the
day for the attractive Abby Miller, on her maiden ferry
voyage across the mighty St. Lawrence, on her way to the
little village of Tadoussac, Quebec with her little dog,
Figgy Piggy.
For her part, Abby can't help but notice how handsome her
rescuer is as they form an easy camaraderie with each
other. But that quickly changes when Marc finds out that
she is a research scientists on her way to study beluga
whales and the sounds they make.
Marc is not thrilled when he finds out his widowed mother,
Francoise Doucette, has let Abby an apartment and she has
already made friends with his lively eight-year daughter,
Sylvie. He had had enough of scientists and their big
city theories that he believed were responsible for causing
a major economic crisis for the beleaguered fishing
industry and was to blame for his father's heart attack.
But times are tough and with little prospects for full-time
employment, Marc offers to pilot his boat for Abby when the
research boat for the local marine interpretative center
was not available. For her part, Abby is now a little leery
of Marc, especially Dr. Pete Bouchard, the Head of the
marine center, had filled her in on things that Marc had
done in his past. But, will the magic of the village, the
call of the whales, and the matchmaking skills of Gram,
Marc's mother, be enough to help bring Abby and her son
together and help him heal his heart from the tragic death
of his wife a few years earlier?
With her excellent research, compassionate heart and
psychological insights, first time author Joanne Michael
has crafted a strong and heartwarming story of learning to
love and trust again. You will laugh as Abby discovers
the joys of poutine, Quebec's favourite food, and delight
in Sylvie's antics as she teaches Figgy some new tricks and
he helps her to learn some, too. This is a terrific read
from a new author with a strong storyline that highlights
how understanding can melt cold barriers between people.
So, enjoy a whale of a ride into this beautiful part of
Canada -- a voyage not to be missed!
Abby's come to this small town in northern Quebec to
research beluga whales. And her dog, Figgy, is all the
company she's interested in. But then she meets widowed
captain Marc Doucette and his brokenhearted daughter. Turns
out they may be exactly what she needs.
Too bad Marc's
dead set against everything Abby and her job represent. But
can he keep up his stand once he sees how good Abby-and
Figgy-are for his daughter? And can he deny that there might
be other-more personal-reasons to change his mind?
