    The Alaskan Laundry
    Brendan Jones' engaging novel is about a girl from Philadelphia, who, at the turning point of childhood into adulthood, decides to leave the mundane and venture into a challenging lifestyle working in a remote fishing village in Alaska. The author writes with a sharp grasp of brutal hard work, relentless cold and wet, and long and lonely days that threaten Tara Marconi's decision. She is doggedly determined to prevail in her battle with harsh Alaskan realities and in her newfound dream of owning an old wooden tugboat to call home. Tara's struggle to persevere, to understand "the grime and sadness of her past," and the possibility of renewing love offers an entertaining and unique reading adventure.

    Memories
    1980ish I made my way to Seattle with a backpack and some money for a pass on the Alaska maritime ferry.I met up with a boat carpenter from Boston and a carpenter from Montana,all looking for something else.luckily we were able to get a chair under the heat lamps in the back of the boat,we didn't have to duck tape a tent to the deck,and the adventure began. This book really brought back some memories for me,really enjoyed it! The author definitely describes what life is like along this part of Alaska. If you've been there you'll say to yourself "yeah that's it" if you haven't you'll want to go! Get the book,read it and enjoy!
  • Virginia W. (Chapel Hill, NC)
    The Alaskan Laundry
    The Alaskan Laundry has crisp, concise prose and short, compact chapters. At times, the storyline is as brutal as the Alaskan landscape and the characters equally as rough and tough as the land itself. The dialogue is blunt yet sporadic and eloquent, nearly poetic phrases leap forth. These were surprising gems and inspired re-reading to ponder their beauty and wisdom.
    This is the story of Tara's journey from rejection to acceptance, from weakness to strength; a journey that leads her to find the true meaning of "home".
    Brendan Jones is a very skilled and talented author. I would recommend this book for any book club that enjoys a gritty adventure as well as for young adult readers just beginning their own "journey".
    I enjoyed this book. It is not a "comfortable" read but one that will stay with the reader for a long time. Enjoy the journey.

    Bravo Tara
    To experience the ultimate Alaskan adventure has always been at the top of my "bucket list." So needless to say, when BookBrowse gave me an opportunity to be one of its first readers, I jumped at it. This rugged novel immediately transported me to Sitka where I found myself tossed about by nature's waves, wind and weather. Through the pages of this book, I was also introduced to a cast of characters that one can only meet in Alaska; many of which will remain with me in the coming years. This is a straightforward, old-fashioned coming of age story of nineteen-year old Tara Marconi, who struggles to find respect, love, and her inner peace in Alaska. As she battles to reinvent herself, she proves herself to be very much like I imagined Alaska to be – fresh, sensitive, discovering and unforgettable. Tara's story confirmed the struggles one experiences while submersed in Alaska's unique culture of commercial fishing. Strong-willed and capable, the reader watches her obtain her American dream
  • Lisa G. (Riverwoods, IL)
    The Alaskan Laundry
    I always feel that if I learn something from a book and also enjoy it, it has done its job. Tara journeyed to Alaska to take a breather from her life in Philadelphia and the family business, not knowing how difficult it would be physically and emotionally. How she survives and the decisions she makes is what the author describes as the Alaskan Laundry, the reason people come to the far reaches of Alaska to figure out what they want out of life, Tara is no exception. The author does an exceptional job describing all facets of the fishing industry as seen through Tara's eyes and those of the people she meets. Through these relationships coupled with a lot of old fashioned grit she survives the Alaskan Laundry. This book is an excellent addition to the genre of strong woman and what they can accomplish.

    "Cold Hands-Warm Hearts"
    The Alaskan Laundry is a wonderful read. Read it while sipping a hot drink! The story takes place in Alaska and the author makes you feel as if you are there sharing the cold, fatigue, and fear with the lead character Tara. Tara is a young woman who has run away to Alaska after the death of her mother. She leaves behind a troubled father and a doting but immature boyfriend. In Alaska, Tara meets the many challenges of surviving in a strange and roughneck world. She falls in love with an old boat and works at several risky jobs to make money to buy it. Along the way, she meets many types of characters - both male and female - each of whom has their own reason for being in Alaska. Like Tara, these characters are interestingly complicated. While you suspect how things are going to eventually turn out, there are a few twists and turns that keep this book from being too predictable. Would be a good book group selection. I highly recommend it!
  • Barbara C. (Riverside, CA)
    I see myself here.
    When I graduated from college, I took a job in Central America. I couldn't bear living at home again with my dad.I so relate to Tara. The book was very well written and easy to follow, and it was also a book that evokes life in Alaska. This story was multidimensional. The reader learns culture of the rural fishing life, friendship, value of hard work, love. We discover late in book why Tara is so messed up. It appears that it will have one sort of happy ending, but wait... can we be sure? The title, The Alaskan Laundry, is explained, and it is a perfect name. I loved, loved, loved this book,
