Story Behind The Book
Whale Song is my "heart book". I am connected to it on so many levels, some deeply personal, some bittersweet. Some of this I explain in the front and back of the book. It is not my life story, but rather Sarah's story...and I hope you enoy it. *A portion of my royalties from every sale of my novel Whale Song go to 3 nonprofit organizations to help combat social issues, like poverty, homelessness and addictions.

It's a tale of heartbreak and happiness, of shutting yourself in and letting yourself go free. After you dry your tears, the message you take away will be one of hope and strength. Cheryl Tardif definitely understands the human soul. And we are lucky that she has the words to tell us about it." --Susan J.
