In this gripping and heart-wrenching account, "The Story of Orca Grief, Survival, and New Beginnings" takes you on an emotional journey through the extraordinary life of Tahlequah (J35), a killer whale mother who captured the world's heart with her 17-day mourning period after the death of her calf. This deeply moving narrative not only chronicles her grief but also her remarkable resilience in giving birth to a new calf, J61, amidst the growing challenges faced by the Southern Resident orca population.

Through firsthand accounts and scientific observations, this book delves into the complexities of orca emotional intelligence, the profound bond between mother and calf, and the unyielding will to survive against all odds. Tahlequah's story is a testament to the emotional depths of these majestic creatures and offers a powerful reflection on loss, love, and hope in the animal kingdom.
