Aesa left home 9 years ago after a falling out with her father. Her father, a captain of a crab boat, was always leaving home on yet another fishing trip. Her mother was long gone having died from suicide. Aesa blames her father for her mother's isolation and suffering. Aesa decides to take some time after completing medical school to spend with her father. She has decided to give him one last chance to fix their relationship.I really enjoyed the unique location that was involved with this story. A large part of it takes place on a fishing boat. The storyline was unique. You definitely walk away with a greater knowledge of fishing for King crab's as well as the life of an Alaskan fisherman. The cover is stunning.For me, I had a hard time with the medical aspect of this book. Aesa is an ER doctor. But yet at times she doesn't act like one. As someone who has given CPR to my own father I can atest that you still keep your wits about you even when it's someone close to you. And an ER doctor would really be able to compartmentalize. There were other medical aspects of this book, such as hospital policies and medical treatments, that were harder for me to believe. But I'm sure the average reader doesn't have the same medical background.
