Beschreibung:
Annie Boochever grew up in the days when Alaska was still a territory. People flocked here for a new life and a kind of freedom that wasn’t available in the Lower 48. Today Alaska is still a magnet for anyone seeking adventure or just trying to escape, and the characters in Bristol Bay Summer are no exception. The story told in Bristol Bay Summer, seen through the eyes of young teen Zoey Morely, is a fictionalized version of Annie's own experiences in Bristol Bay in 1980. Annie is a retired music teacher, high school English teacher, and school librarian. She has an MFA in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts. When not writing, Annie loves to swim, ski, play piano, and garden. She lives in Juneau with her husband and a frightfully intelligent Dutch dog named Zz. Bristol Bay Summer is her first novel.
Against the backdrop of the great Bristol Bay salmon fishery, thirteen-year-old Zoey struggles with her parents' divorce and the pangs of growing up during her summer in the "real" Alaska. Bristol Bay Summer churns with the energy of an Alaska set net fishery in this authentic and compelling tale of a divided family living a remote lifestyle where getting along as a team is a matter of survival.
