The Compass Rose

By Bret Yager

Record catches. Lost lives. A bonanza for the lucky, broken dreams for others.This is Burke Stillwell's introduction to the fierce and vanishing world of Oregon's winter crab fishermen, who face towering waves in small boats and walk a razor-thin line between fortune and death. The young man's journey into the ocean's crucible is complicated when he falls in love with a mysterious young woman who links him to his past and destiny. An unflinching examination of the world's most dangerous job and the hearts of those who go down to the sea in ships, THE COMPASS ROSE is a coming of age tale for all seasons.
