Ever watch The Deadliest Catch?
Ever wonder what it would be like if a woman crewed an Alaskan crab fishing boat, one of the most dangerous jobs on earth?
Did you know women on such boats are thought to be bad luck charms?
Get ready to be swept into a heart-pounding realistic adventure.
Releasing the Catch by Jeny Heckman is a women’s fiction, action-adventure Romance that has just been announced as the finalist in Finalist in the 2021 Feathered Quill Book Awards Program for the Women’s Fiction category.
This is Faith Pearson’s story and what a grand story it is but while she is the heart of the story, there are also an astonishing array of true and fully drawn characters. Get ready to be introduced to a way of life that is dangerous, exciting, and backbreaking work.
Releasing the Catch starts in the early 1970s when Mack Carter, a poor, wayward teenager who is lonely and alone in Washington State uses his natural brawn, willingness to work, and sense of adventure when he hitches up to Alaska and meets Nels Pearson. Mack talks his way into a job as a greenhorn member of Nels' crab fishing crew. From there the adventure begins and all I can say is block out the time it will take you to devour this book in one sitting because you will not put it down.
Jeny Heckman has a laudable eye for descriptive detail about everything in the hardscrabble crab fishing world and her ear for realistic language made every moment vibrate with often harsh authenticity. Faith Pearson’s story is powerful, poignant, and passionate. The people in her life are fully rounded with deep, believable backstories.
Releasing the Catch will sweep you away with an unforgettable cast of characters in a grand saga of crab fishing families living, working, loving, and dying along the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea.
