Instead she lives far  far away  on the other side of the country  with her gram and great-aunt. But one summer Ally goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in the \"big city by the ocean\" and gets to spend time with her mom. While exploring the shore  watching whales from the boat dipping into the salty water  Ally finds out something important: her mother loves to swim as much as she does.  This is a very personal story. Ally is based on the authors niece  Jeanie  and Allys mother is based on the authors sister  Sarah  who went missing from the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver in 1998. Jeanie is like a seal in the water  and Sarah was just the same  but they never got to swim together. In this story  they do. Swimming with Seals is a story that was written for the thousands of children who long to live with their birth parents and will never fully understand why they cant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924741324853,"sku":"ByrdShop_1459813219","price":65.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781459813212.jpg?v=1794140134","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/swimming-with-seals-9781459813212","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
