Against the backdrop of the great Bristol Bay salmon fishery, thirteen-year-old Zoey Morley struggles with
her parents divorce, her moms bush-pilot boyfriend, and the pangs of growing up during her summer in the
real Alaska. Author Annie Boochever tells a compelling tale of a divided family living a remote lifestyle where
getting along as a team is a matter of survival. Zoey learns to trust the artist inside her and finds she and her
new friend Thomas have something in common. Readers will live the lessons learned and taught by this young
girl who finds that hard work, compassion, and the ability to see things in her own special way lead her toward
happiness in a place that at first seems just too far away.
