Everyone has times of confusion and vulnerability, not to mention that as a single mother raising children alone, you need to face more life and difficulties.
Like Me Like a Whale is a non-fiction book that tells the story of how the author, as a single mother, overcame the difficulties of life and raised her son alone.
The author, Doreen, is in trouble because of a marriage that often fails. With no money, no home, no job, and only her one-year-old son accompanies her.
The bleak life in the women's shelter left her feeling claustrophobic, frightened, and depressed. Once she stumbled upon the fact that gray whales living in the eastern Pacific migrate from the Arctic to Mexico every year to breed and then travel north with their babies.
On this migration halfway around the world, the mother gray whale not only has to hide from predators, but also care for and feed her calf, which shows the wisdom, tenacity, courage and unparalleled maternal love of the gray whale mother.
This deeply touched the author, and she was determined to learn from the gray whale mother how to be a mother, how to endure, how to live. So she applied for a loan and a stipend and set out on a journey to chase gray whales with her young son.
During the journey, she and her son experienced the beauty and grandeur of nature, made friends with people from different backgrounds and cultures, and when they finally saw the magnificent migration of gray whales, the magnificent scene immersed them in joy and at the same time, their hearts were cleansed, and they regained inner peace and firmness.
This adventure of chasing gray whales is not only a testimony to the author's wonderful memories, but also a revelation to many single mothers, as long as there is enough strength, courage, wisdom and love in their hearts, single parents can also create a warmth and happiness, and create a better future for themselves and their children.
