Description



Book Synopsis



A mother-daughter love story of resilience and hope against the odds Keema Waterfield grew up chasing music with her twenty-year-old mother on the Alaskan folk festival circuit, two small siblings in tow. Summers they traveled by ferry and car, sharing the family tent with a guitar, cello, and fiddle. Adrift with a revolving cast of musicians, drunks, stepdads, and one man with a gun, Keema yearned for a place to call home. Preferably with heat and flushing toilets. Trying to understand the absence of her pot-dealing father, she is drawn deeper into her mother's past instead.



Review Quotes




"With humor and great empathy, Waterfield renders her childhood as the daughter as a peripatetic musician in raw Alaskan country, surrounded by a cast of characters both compelling and flawed. This is a world that offers equal parts uncertain protection and aching beauty, and from that fire Waterfield has forged a shining debut, resonant as song." -Megan Kruse, author of Call Me Home
