The Island's True Child - Pocket

Dorothy (Dot) Simpson recalls growing up in the early 1900s in Criehaven, a small, independent Maine lobster-fishing community twenty miles offshore. Observant, imaginative, and often rebellious, Dot spends time helping her father with the work of island life while dreaming of becoming a writer. This memoir of her childhood and youth is told with simplicity, sadness, and dry humor. Afterword by Elisabeth Ogilvie.
