Whalers
The debut novel by Kyle Farnworth.
New Bedford.
Whalers takes place in the backdrop of New Bedford, Massachusetts—a once-thriving whaling town that now struggles to keep its head above water. Ethan Callahan, a middle school teacher, is caught in the slow unraveling of his community and his own life.
A Missing Student.
Haunted by past failures and overwhelmed by a system that seems to care less with each passing day, Ethan faces the fight of his life when he’s wrongfully implicated in the disappearance of one of his former students. Ethan is forced to confront not only the shadows around him but those within himself.
A Quest for Redemption.
This is a story of guilt, redemption, and the ghosts that linger in places and people long after their glory days have faded. With a cast of complex characters, a vividly atmospheric setting, and a plot that keeps you guessing, Whalers offers a gripping exploration of what it means to find hope when everything else feels lost.
