YA
Despite his mother's urging to apply for college, high schooler Dain dreams of becoming a lobsterman like his late father. Conflicts with his older brother and a series of destroyed lobster traps cause Dain to reconsider his future. Although the plot's pace in this first novel is sporadic, the setting--Maine's fog-shrouded coastal waters--is strongly evoked.
