A DROP IN THE OCEAN
Evocative and thought-provoking, A DROP IN THE OCEAN is a story about second chances and hard lessons learned in the gentlest of ways.
On her 49th birthday, Anna Fergusson, Boston neuroscientist and dedicated introvert, arrives at an unwanted crossroads when the funding for her research lab is cut. With her confidence shattered and her future uncertain, on impulse she rents a cabin for a year on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. However Turtle Island, alive with sea birds and nesting Green turtles, is not the retreat she expected.
Here she finds love—for the eccentric islanders who become her family; for Tom, the laid-back turtle whisperer; and for the turtles whose ancient mothering instincts move her to tears. But Anna finds that even on her idyllic drop in the ocean there is pain, and as the months fly past her dream for a new life is threatened by a darkness that challenges everything she has come to believe about the power of love.
Jenni Ogden grew up in a country town in the South Island of New Zealand. Armed with NZ and Australian university degrees in zoology and psychology, she took up a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and she worked with H.M., the most famous amnesiac in history. Later she returned to an academic position at Auckland University, where she wrote about her patients’ moving stories in two books, FRACTURED MINDS and TROUBLE IN MIND.
