About This Book

At twenty, Allison Heller has already used up the lower forty-eight states. Alone in the fishing village of Vladimir, Alaska, she crews on salmon boats, hoping to re-invent herself amidst the desolate beauty of the North. In the land of the last frontier, Allie encounters Sonny, a Tlingit Indian trapped in his own dreams; Nick, a fisherman haunted by the wife he abandoned in his native Russia; and Vivian, Sonny's mother, who has lost her husband to the sea.
