Village Books in Historic Fairhaven

In this moving book, Eder writes of being a commercial fisherman's wife, a mother, and a successful attorney on the Oregon coast. Set against the sudden loss at sea of the Eders' oldest son, Ben, it is a tale of indescribable sadness but also one of resilience and courage, a stunning testament to one family's strength and the memory of their remarkable son.
