Coming mid-summer 2010 … The Edge of Nowhere.

A brief summary of the book: A year after his mother died in a car crash, 16 year old Seth Evanoff and his dog, Tucker, fall off his father’s commercial fishing boat during a storm in Prince William Sound, Alaska. An air and sea search comes up empty, and Seth is presumed drowned. For many months, the two castaways must endure hardships to survive off the land and the sea, as they work their way home from island to island. Edge of Nowhere is more than an adventure novel. It’s also a story about reconciliation, about heritage, and about struggling to deal with grief.
