The book was about a little girl who I think was in a coma. She was on her fathers whaling ship and he nurses her back to health feeding her whale fat. I think that Nantucket was in the name or in the book. I read this book when I was in the 8th grade, I checked it out in the library at an Irish Catholic school I attended in Jacksonville, Florida. I believe it was an older book. I am 41 years old today.
 
could it be this?
