5.0 out of 5 stars The life of a hospital orderly is transformed as he seeks redemption as an Alaska cannery worker., October 27, 2005

By	Harry J. Gould - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the journey of Billy McCord in Barometer's Shadow a most compelling experience. Mr. Kaufman's descriptive narratives of McCord working in an Alaska cannery, shoveling crabs with a bunch of brutal roughnecks, fishing for Salmon, and meeting the love of his life, takes the reader for a near-real-life ride.

I highly recommend the book for all readers, but anyone fascinated with Alaska will especially find it a great read.
