Etat : New. Pop is a tough father to Augie and the rest of the seven Mohans. The Depression landed him in the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington and now he must take a gamble to feed his children. Against his better judgment, he signs on to the Carolina, an aging fishing trawler. It's an open secret that the captain of the Carolina is up to no good. When the Carolina disappears off the coast of Vancouver Island, Augie is left to feed his brothers and sisters, and wonder about the fate of his father. The two bodies of Chinese immigrants that wash up on a windward beach provide the first clues that some island residents know more than they will tell. China Rock provides a look at the hardscrabble lives of young and old during the difficult 1930'3. Through the lens of a youngster who yearns to understand the making of his family, the story shows us the making of a man. -- from publisher's description.…
