Bostonian Dawn McCarthy’s life is shattered following a profound double tragedy. Michael, her Irish husband, drowns in a fiery boating accident off the southwest coast of Ireland. Their only child, Jason, who has witnessed his father’s death, is diagnosed with traumatic mutism and no longer speaks. Following a series of failed therapies, Dawn believes her son will never talk again.
Rejecting the doctor’s advice, Dawn returns with Jason to the remote
Irish fishing village of Kilcastle where her husband had lived and died.
There, along the rugged Irish Atlantic coastline, she hopes to find a cure
for her son. But it is not an easy return for Dawn. She faces daily
reminders of what might have been.
The sudden appearance of a wild dolphin delivers newfound hope. In the days
that follow, Dawn witnesses a powerful bond grow between Jason and the
dolphin as the boy takes his first small steps toward healing. It is only
then that she suspects the enigmatic mammal is much more than she had at
first supposed.
Dolphin Song is a tale of terrifying tragedy, magical Irish legends and
eternal love. Dawn’s voyage takes readers on an unforgettable journey
where those we have loved and lost are not gone forever. Instead, we need
only take a leap of faith to find them again.
