"Magically Enchanting!...WHALE SONG is a wonderful story written with a passion for family love and lots of spiritualism. Sometimes, if you have an extra belief, it helps to understand things more...to moralise for the better choices in life. WHALE SONG demonstrates just that. I LOVED THIS BOOK for the reason because there is simply many life lessons that teach the consequences and advantages for each situation. WHALE SONG is simply a compelling, magically enchanting story that SHOULD be made into MOVIE. If it were to be that case, then I would defentely be the first to see it. Afterall, the book is a read that I could barely put down and that has been read more than once."

"Wonderful...Cheryl Kaye Tardif's lovely descriptions help add depth and realism to a beautifully written story about love, sacrifice, and forgiveness. The setting is Canada's Vancouver Island and the author deftly brings this world to life...few readers will fail to be moved by the children's excitement and awe as they hear the whales sing. Ms. Tardif has done a superb job with this thought provoking novel that somehow manages to touch the soul."

 Note from Cheryl: Normally when I ask to quote someone's review, I select the best parts, words I think prospective buyers need to hear to make their decision on whether to buy Whale Song. In the case below, I had to include the entire review because her words mean so much to me.

"A magical, mystical jewel. I don't know how to do justice to this book in a review. It's like trying to describe love or any other emotion--you have to experience it to really understand. And Whale Song is quite an experience!
The story seems straightforward, moving along in a way that constantly keeps your attention. But underneath are layers of complex feelings and meaning, and they will stir your heart in a big way. Have Kleenex handy! I went through a whole box while reading this. And not because it was sad--although there is definitely sadness in it--but because it is so beautifully written. It makes you think. I let go of a burden of bitterness I was holding inside myself, because of the wisdom I found in Whale Song. How many books can you actually say made you a better person and changed your life?
Every single voice in the narrative is completely authentic. From the young girl who tells the story to the wise old Indian woman called Nana, the characters are living, breathing people you wish you could meet. And the sense of place is so real that you can actually see the ocean and hear the songs of the whales.
There is fascinating Indian lore and legend, and a deep vein of spirituality running throughout the book. It's a tale of heartbreak and happiness, of shutting yourself in and letting yourself go free. After you dry your tears, the message you take away will be one of hope and strength. Cheryl Tardif definitely understands the human soul. And we are lucky that she has the words to tell us about it."

I have a wonderful supporter of my work. Linda always brightens my day when I get an email from her and recently she dropped by one of my book signings. She made a point of letting me know what my books have meant to her and to people she has given them to, and for an author, hearing these things is such a gift.

Linda recently gave her aunt Louise a Christmas present--a copy of Whale Song that I had signed and personalized. I guess Louise was too excited to wait until Christmas (lol), so she read Whale Song and sent Linda an email about how much she enjoyed it. Here is part of Louise's email; she has given me permission to share it here:

"I am just overwhelmed by the book you gave me - I just finished Whale Song. The thought that anyone can write this quality of narrative just blows me apart. I did so much crying that my shirt was soaked. It's so well written - I'm sorry I didn't go to Amazon and buy the book as soon as you mentioned it to me [several months ago]. I'll know better next time. I will have complete trust in your judgment from now on - believe me! I started reading the novel before reading about the author so as I kept reading, the narrative seemed so real that I actually thought she had lived through this...There's more, but I just wanted to say - it's one of the best books I've ever read and I'm truly grateful that you had it signed by the author!" --Louise Dancause

Thank you, Louise, for your kind and touching words. I will treasure them.

And thank you, Linda, for continuing to support my novels by gifting them to your friends and family. I hope my writing never disappoints you.
