You probably know someone like Carla, the main character in the story. Life has handed her a bowl of lemons, but instead of making lemonade, she just becomes a sourpuss.

Working in the kitchen of a shabby coffee shop in a small Pacific Northwest town allows Carla to avoid social interaction. Her bank account is a joke, her only family is her drug-addicted mom, and she holds everyone else at arm’s length.

Then, along comes a pod of orcas. They arrive mysteriously in the inlet near the coffee shop, having veered off course, bringing life to the sleepy town. Carla’s joy fades when she learns that the nineteen whales are trapped. Boatloads of gawkers crowd in too close. Scientists disagree on whether to rescue the whales or let them be. No one is doing anything to help them.

But for Carla, nothing can break her heart like an animal in trouble. Can she rescue them, and how? Helping the orcas will challenge her –and change her forever.

In the Company of Whales is about the power of friendship, finding your purpose, and making your own second chances. Based on true events, it’s a gripping tale of courage and determination with a hero you can cheer for.
