(1) YA Alaskan teenager Lucy's only purpose in life, it seems to her, is to drag her drunken father home from the bar every night. When the stray dog who has befriended her dies, Lucy is numb with grief and runs away; soon she's hauling pots on a crabbing boat twenty hours a day. Mixed with riveting descriptions of life at sea are warming human interactions that help Lucy take responsibility for the way her life goes.
