Releasing the Catch
Summary
Women. Fishing. The Bering Sea. Some men don’t think they belong together. One woman wants to prove them wrong.
Mack Carter’s life is circling the drain. When he hears about how lucrative the fishing industry is in Alaska, he decides to try his luck on the frigid Aleutian Chain. There he meets, Nels Pearson, who teaches the younger man how to be a crab fisherman on the deadly Bering Sea and becomes the friend and father-figure Mack’s never known. Carter must learn to navigate both the foreign world on the water and home life on land, finding a tenuous balance with both.
Through circumstances beyond her control, Faith Pearson is inserted into the dangerous life the men live in. To most fishermen in this high-velocity world, women onboard a crab boat is a bad omen. Faith finds life on the sea difficult to maneuver, not just the conditions but the men and superstitions she must also endure.
When tragedy strikes her life again, Faith strives to overcome great obstacles, and prove herself worthy mentally and physically, as she navigates self-discovery in a man’s bleak yet adventurous world. She also discovers lessons about love from a delicious new co-worker and just how deadly the Bering Sea can be when her own life is on the line, possibly never releasing her from the catch.
Releasing the Catch, is a story of fathers and daughters, letting go of the past, self-discovery, and overcoming odds made harder simply for your gender. It’s the story of two individuals at different times in an intertwined and extraordinary life, with so much to teach one another.
Author’s Note:
There are a million memories for me in this book. You’ll probably wonder how or why by the end of it or what I have in common with rough talking salty sea dogs. More than you might think, down in my core. I love Faith and Mack’s strength and growth in this story and sincerely hope you do too!
Thank you for taking this journey with me.
REVIEWS
Received my book Saturday afternoon and finished it by mid afternoon Sunday! I am one of those readers that tend to jump to the end when I am about midway through a book. If the ending doesn't intrigue me, I often don't even care to go back and read what I missed........not with this book. I had to definitely go back and read the entire book. My only disappointment in finishing so quickly is now I have to wait for the author to write another one, whether it be a sequel or something new. Thoroughly enjoyed this book..
I tend to be a slow reader unless the book catches my interest. This book caught my interest right out of the gate! I loved watching how the characters worked through hardships and came out stronger. I truly hope that this author plans on writing more as I really enjoyed her style. Great read!!.
Now some might say I'm biased because I have known the author since we were in junior high school. But they would only be partly correct. I picked up the book for that reason, but I couldn't put it down because it was an engrossing story. Powerful and honest. I am amazed and can't wait for whatever comes next!.
Great read. I have lived this life and this book brought it all flooding back. Thanks for the memories!!! Ds.
