It's about a man who ends up on a space whale that can "dive" through time, he picks up a capsule with a woman in stasis that he is attracted to, he also saves a little girl who he travels through time with, I forget most of the story but in the end the little girl ends up being the woman in the stasis capsule. I swear the main characters name is jon starflyer or something close to it. A man and a little girl in a space whale
