    Must read!! Great for book club!!

    This is a beautifully written story about a man who one day finds he has become a dolphin out in the middle of the ocean. He wants desperately to find his way back to his wife, and his former life, even though his marriage and career haven't quite lived up to his dreams. Along the way he rediscovers the meaning of love in his life.
