Molly Hooch isn't a professional author and it shows, but she's chosen an interesting narrative device in how she structured her memoir. Rather than try to tell stories chronologically, she organizes them by season, representing the cycle of life in subsistence communities. People come and go, and your role changes as you get older, but for the village as a whole each spring is pretty much like the last.

This is a memoir of the subsistence lifestyle practiced by many Alaska Natives, specifically the author and her family in the Yukon River delta of western Alaska. As with agriculture on the mainland, the arrival of commercial operations has significantly changed this way of life, not necessarily worse, but different. The author wants to document that older time before it passes out of living memory.
