Oh man, this was a sad book - poor Jeannie just couldn't seem to catch a break!

This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed her writing. She did a great job with her descriptions and I feel like I learned more about fishing in the 1880s.

I adored Ethan and the little side story of his dad and Jeannie's mom was cute. Harry was just a terrible cad and Connie can go choke on a herring.

I just wish there was more development at the end.
