In The Fisherman's Quilt, young Nora Hunter arrives in Alaska with her fisherman husband and new baby. She brings her first, fancy quilt to Alaska, along with the idealistic vision of life on America's last frontier.
Nora's fresh, impassioned voice recalls her story, told in vivid details and lyrical introspection. Nora struggles with the danger, loneliness, and ambition of her life; making quilts celebrating weddings and births, fresh starts and reconciliation and, finally, her own strength.
