Description: An urban woman ends up in a cabin off-the-grid on an Alaska island where she records real-life lessons gained through encounters with bears, storms, and odd sea creatures. Her richest lessons, though, come from her neighbors, mariners who fish for a living, and tell witty stories about their own lives  in an outpost that few people, even Alaskans, get to experience.
