Fishing with Hyenas

When city girl Theresa falls madly in love with commercial fisherman Captain Bart, she trades her urban lifestyle for a grueling job as crew on his ninety-two-foot tuna boat in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. During their three-month journey, she battles waves the size of four-story buildings in hurricane-force winds and almost loses her mind, but wins the respect of the Hyenas—an elite group of fishermen who become her extended family. 

 

When Captain Bart dies at sea of a massive heart attack, Theresa must survive her worst nightmare and nearly drowns in grief and financial devastation.

 

FISHING WITH HYENAS is a true story about the power of love, the pull of Mother Ocean, and overcoming loss.
