The Blue Dolphin: A Parable [Paperback]
Robert Barnes (Author)
The story of The Blue Dolphin begins to unfold while Boji is still within his mothers womb, having to delay his birth until she is rescued from a fishing net. His escapades, based on current insight into the dolphins way of life, are full of challenges and resourcefulness and eventually he is told to either conform or leave the pod. Finding the coastal way of life too limiting, Boji chooses the unpredictable but exciting experiences of the deep ocean surrounding him. Eventually he runs into disaster, shot by a callous fisherman who considers dolphins undesirable competition. Wounded in spirit as well, Boji is near death when he is once more rescued by humans, and later seeks out human companionship. Paperback: 192 pages
