Summary:
"Lili is a runaway. She's left behind a humdrum existence in France to go in search of freedom, of adventure, of life. Her search takes her to the island of Kodiak, Alaska, home to a rag-tag community of fishermen, army vets and drifters who man the island's boats and trawlers. Despite her tiny frame, faltering English and total lack of experience, when the fishing season begins Lili lands a job on board the Rebel - one of the toughest gigs in town. The work is harder than anything she's ever known and as the only
woman
on the ship, she's forced to prove her worth time and again. Inwardly, she rails against her callous crewmembers; outwardly, she struggles to speak loud enough and make herself understood. Lili is tough and determined though - she has nothing to lose, after all - and at
sea
she finally finds the intensity of life she's been looking for. But when, slowly, undeniably, she begins to fall in love with a fellow sailor, she needs to decide whether she is willing to compromise her newfound freedom."--From publisher.
