A New York Times Bestselling Author

Just before Christmas, Linda Greenlaw meets up with her best friend and fellow fisherman Alden Leeman for lunch and a drink at the Dry Dock, a well-worn watering hole in Portland, Maine. Yarns are spun, and denizens of the Dry Dock drift in and out as the bar begins to swell with rounds of drinks and increasingly dramatic tales about the biggest fish and the wildest night at sea - all retold here with Greenlaw's signature sly wit.

"'Oh big deal. Twelve hours? Try that routine for three days. Your boat is like the Queen Elizabeth compared to what I used to put to sea in. You've been spoiled. Why, I remember a time when . . . ' And in the truest one-upmanship fashion, my friend painted a picture that made my horror story look like a kid's cartoon. I could feel the ladies who were playing bridge stop their game and perch on the edge of their chairs behind me. The Island Boys had spun around on their bar stools and were leaning toward our table. The suit-and-ties ordered more coffee, and the islanders knew there would be later ferries toward home. Everyone loves a sea story. No one tells one quite like Alden."
