My Father's Arms Are a Boat

By Stein Erik Lunde, Kari Dickson (Translator)

During one long Norwegian night, a father and son explore their powerful emotions of love and loss, but also hope and healing. Lunde skillfully evokes the security of the parent-child relationship and the comfort to be found in the natural world.
