Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Three generations of fishermen may be a world apart but they are united by their love of the sea.
The morning mist sits thick on the sea as a Vietnamese- American boy and his father climb onto their fishing boat. During the day, the father begins to teach his son how to haul in the shrimp that are so important to the family's livelihood. As the two work, the father's thoughts drift to his own father, half a world away, who works on a different kind of boat in the South China seas.
In lyrical prose, the author explores three generations of fishermen separated by time and place, but united by experience. Ted Rand's gorgeous watercolors capture their love of working on the water.
