Book description
De una de las nadadoras profesionales más destacadas del mundo nos llega este maravilloso relato, sobre el poder de la fe que supera todos los obstáculosEn Grayson, Lynne Cox narra la historia de un milagroso e inolvidable encuentro que vivió en el mar a los diecisiete años. En una madrugada serena pero cargada de energía, Lynne nadaba en aguas frías, a doscientos metros de la costa, cuando se percató de que algo nadaba por debajo de ella. Aquello parecía lo bastante grande como para ser un tiburón blanco, pero no lo fue. Resultó ser un bebé ballena que había perdido a su mamá en el mar, y que había seguido a Lynne por más de una milla. Si Lynne no lograba encontrar a la mamá, el bebé ballena se deshidrataría y moriría de hambre. Algo tan enorme como la mamá ballena, que medía quince metros, de pronto parecía muy pequeña en el vasto océano Pacífico. ¿Cómo podría encontrarla Lynne?
