Past and present entwine to share wondrous events that bring us closer to our source. Magical encounters and scientific discovery merge seamlessly in this adventurous story.
The setting: beside a lake a young native boy plays musical bones, an ancient pastime handed down by elders and ancestors while fishing. When the boy catches a catfish and forms a friendship he discovers a prehistoric whale who tells stories of the mysteries of life, survival, coming-of-age, the great outdoors, and Mother Nature.
Inspired by Chumash mythology, Pahat's Fishing Adventure is based on a true story -- the author's discovery of California's first fossilized, 25 million-year-old, toothed baleen whales in Ojai, California, January, 2000, Los Angeles County Museum Specimen 148806.
