The Alaskan Laundry by Brendan Jones

4.0

Tara, a fierce young woman in need of a fresh start, arrives in Alaska to work in a salmon hatchery. She is running away from the death of her mother, her father's wrath, and her own personal demons. The writing is elegant and completely absorbing -- evoking both the harsh beauty of the place as well as the interior battles Tara is fighting. A real gem.
