Wendy the Whale - Alan L. Bates - Bog

This warm and intriguing story is about Gwendolyn Able, a severely handicapped girl, and her mother. Abandoned by the child's father they overcame the trials and difficulties of her affliction using the power of unstinted and unqualified love. Along the pathway to adulthood they affected the lives of those with whom they came in contact: teachers, coaches and team-mates.
It is the author's wish that this tale will help the more fortunate to understand and sympathize with the mentally handicapped, and possibly lend hope to those who must meet similar challenges.
