From the award-winning author of The Mushroom Hunters comes the story of an iconic fish, perhaps the last great wild food: salmon. For some, a salmon evokes the distant wild—thrashing in the jaws of a hungry grizzly bear on TV, perhaps. For others, it's the catch of the day on a restaurant menu, or a deep red fillet at the market. For others still, it's the jolt of adrenaline on a successful fishing trip. Our fascination with these superlative fish is as old as humanity itself. Long a source of sustenance among native peoples, salmon is now more popular than ever. Fish hatcheries and farms serve modern appetites with a domesticated "product"—while wild runs of salmon dwindle across the globe. How has this once-abundant resource reached this point, and what can we do to safeguard wild populations for future generations?

Laney Caswell is looking for a change. A decade’s worth of less-than-happy
matrimony behind her, she wants peace—movies, books and, best of all, a new job at the
Northern Star Lodge in Whitford, Maine. Spending the summer living in a camper is her
chance to rediscover what makes her happy, and a perfect transition to her new life.
Being a paramedic in Whitford is nothing like Ben Rivers’s city life, but when Josh
Kowalski offers him the job, the lure of his hometown is too much to resist. Also too
much to resist: Laney Caswell. Ben always thought he’d have a wife and kids, a happy
family like the Kowalskis have all built, but he never made time in his life. Now he’s
found a woman who draws him like no other and helps him dream again—and the last thing
she wants is a husband. When the annual Kowalski family camping trip is moved to the
Northern Star, both Ben and Laney are surrounded by the kind of happiness they’ve always
wanted but never had. It just might be theirs—if they can put aside the past and reach
for it together. Views: 6
