With poetic cadence and magical tone, Lord writes of her life from June to August, days filled with the mending of nets, the muscle-wrenching labor of the catch, the exquisite pleasure of an improvised hot-tub, and the often subtle beauty of the inlet's flora and fauna.
Woven throughout Lord's adventures is the deeper history of the region's stories and legends of the native Denaiina people; anecdotes about past and current residents; descriptions of their neighbors, both human and animal, who like Lord and her partner, co-exist with fish.
