More reviews of Whale Song:


Fresh Fiction says: "Cheryl Kaye Tardif's novel, Whale Song, would be a tough act to follow for any written genre. In our lives, there are friends that come and go and some that touch our hearts for a lifetime. Since books are like friends, WHALE SONG is the later type. Ms. Tardif has the ability to reach beyond the compounds of the mind in order to penetrate into the heart. What an excellent read!"

"This is an amazing story, and one you'll want to read again and again. Cheryl Kaye Tardif skillfully weaves her tale of friendship, love, loss, pain and forgiveness...and just about the point when you think you have it all figured out, the author throws in a twist, and an ending well worthy of being called a grand finale. A short yet emotional read that may just move you to tears." --Amanda Richards, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer
Habitual Reader says: "Great "quiet" novel about self forgiveness."
I am currently working on 2 new suspense novels.
