Soundings

In Soundings, Doreen Cunningham embarks on a lyrical journey alongside her toddler son, tracing the grey whale migration from Mexico to northern Alaska. This memoir intertwines the awe-inspiring natural world and whale science with her past experiences living with an Iñupiaq family, exploring themes of motherhood, love, and resilience. As she navigates the challenges posed by global warming and immerses herself in the ancient traditions of Indigenous whale hunters, the story unfolds into a poignant reflection on the enduring bond between nature and humanity.
