IT IS 1970, and Tokitae, a magnificent four-year-old orca, is torn away from her family in the gray, choppy waters of Puget Sound - a ruthless capture operation involving 90 other killer whales. She is immediately transported to the Miami Seaquarium, renamed Lolita, and trained to perform circus tricks for unwitting audiences in the world's smallest orca tank. Day after day, she toils in the unrelenting heat and blistering sun, her only escape the enduring friendship of two spirited kids, Olivia and Warren, who help Lolita cope with the endless boredom, depression, and loneliness. But as months turn to years - and years to decades - Lolita's strength and resilience begin to fade. She wonders if her ordeal will ever end. And if it does, will she ever see her family again?
