In deeply personal recollections, Heidi describes life in an isolated fishing community, watching the sharp decline in fish and a community in transition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I wanted to celebrate the beauty of the islands, the land, and the sea-and I wanted to honor a way of life which evolved over 150 years and disappeared in less than 50. This is a celebration of what is, and a lament for what is lost. I watched with pain, close-up and personal, the increasing destruction and final death of the fisheries and the impact on those who made a living from the sea. I also wanted to capture for you and for myself the beauty of the sea, sand, sky, and rocks-what was unique in the culture of the time and place, and the inevitability of change.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51433866330335,"sku":"9781935052883","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/JphQR5ucve9781935052883.webp?v=1790020493","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/some-wonderful-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
