The Alaskan laundry : a novel / Brendan Jones.

Jones, Brendan, (author.).

Summary:

"Tara Marconi has made her way from Philly to the Rock," a remote island in Alaska governed by the seasons. Her mother's death left her unmoored, with a seemingly impassable rift between her and her father. But in this majestic, rugged frontier she works her way up the commercial fishing ladder-from hatchery assistant all the way to king crabber. Disciplined from years as a young boxer, she learns anew what it means to work, to connect, and-through an unlikely old tugboat - how to make a home she knows is her own."--Provided by the publisher.
