COLBERT, Wash., Aug. 6, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- It is widely believed that destiny has its way of changing the way we live. When one least expects it, a blessing in disguise can happen or a complete reversal of fortune can strike. These are the themes that drive a dramatic tale about career and fatherhood imagined by John Nelson with the release of his new book Whidbey.
In Whidbey, readers will meet Mitchell Sanders, a marine biologist who dreams of establishing his very own orca research center. Life changes for him suddenly when his ex-wife falls ill, which forces him to take care of their autistic son Whidbey. Now overwhelmed with parenting tasks, Mitchell finds himself torn apart between his son and his career. As they spend the summer together, the biologist must make the most difficult decision before time runs out. Which will it be and where will it lead him to? Read the book to find out.
