Stephens plunges you into the back-breaking, heart-breaking life of one lobsterman.” — Richard Grant, author of Another Green World “Stephens nails harbor life down to the unwritten rules and defense of imaginary territory lines. . . . Peppered with dark humor and brutal honesty, The Ghost Trap gives it to you straight, the way life should be.” — Ryan Post, fourth-generation lobsterman, creator of Mainebuggin.com “Characters and setting that reflect a real, raw piece of Maine. . . . With Anja and Jamie, Stephens introduces us to characters whose stories and situations are heartbreaking. This book reminds us that as complicated as lobster fishing might be, human relationships are always more fraught with difficulty.” — Portland Phoenix K.
