McGuire, Rosemary, authorUniversity of Alaska Press, publisher2022-04-212022-04-212015https://hdl.handle.net/10217/234761A man witnesses a tragic accident that calls his own life into question. A young woman meets her high school sweetheart after many years and seeks to make sense of the separate paths they've taken. A soldier home from Iraq tries to rebuild his life in a remote Alaskan village. These are fishing stories, told as such stories are meant to be: simple, often coarse, and tinged with the elemental beauty of the sea. They reflect rugged lives lived on the edge of the ocean's borders, where grief and grace ride the same waves. Rosemary McGuire has been working as a commercial fisherman for fourteen years. She has worked in Antarctica and in field camps across Alaska and has traveled most of Alaska's river systems by canoe.Foreword -- The lost boys Longline Co. -- The murder -- Easter, Thompsen's Bay -- Innocence -- Angel Hotch -- Dutch Harbor, New Year's eve -- Snow night on the Richardson -- Luke -- Thompsen's Bay -- The Vega -- That day we went down to Chalkyitsikt -- Daniel, Kodiak -- The creatures at the absolute bottom of the sea.born digitalbooksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
