Synopsis

This is a fast-paced adventure story of a young dolphin separated from his family and forced to draw from his deepest physical and spiritual resources to survive. Along his journey to Zen-inspired enlightenment, young First Dolphin must overcome a series of obstacles including captivity in a marine park and several near-death experiences. He must work through his feelings toward his father, who abandoned him early in his life, and also work through feelings of despair at having been separated for so long from his loved ones. In a final test of courage and will First Dolphin must rescue his lover and son from a volcano paradise before it erupts. He gathers strength and compassion from his father's teachings in meditation (what his father called "listening") and from his own hard-won insights and experiences. This unforgettable tale carries on the literary traditions established by such classic works as Siddhartha and Jonathan Livingston Seagull and will appeal to anyone interested in spiritual exploration and compelling storytelling.
