Sheltered scientist Celeste Ashton has no idea that her unorthodox work with dolphins would end up causing such a stir in both the academic community and the popular press. When the Times labels her a "mermaid" and an group of prestigious scientists condescendingly question her research and her qualifications, she has no choice but to allow the "professional skeptic," ichthyology professor Titus Thorne, to come to her sea-side home and observe her dolphins in action. The result is an unusual story written with whimsy and grace. Krahn (The Unlikely Angel, Bantam, 1996) lends a lively, humorous touch to some of the more important women's issues of the day. Her fans won't be disappointed in this one. She lives in Minnesota.
