A Road Out Of Naknek by Keith Catalan Wilson offers readers about Alaskan Salmon Fishing, Long-Distance Running, and Life According to the Tide.

While growing up in Naknek, a remote commercial salmon-fishing town in southwest Alaska, Keith began running as a way to deal with a feeling of isolation and restlessness. As an adult, he has left Naknek, moving from place to place, job to job, and adventure to adventure. All the while, he competes in a number of long-distance races of up to 100 miles. Running provides him a time for reflection and a sense of inner clarity that nothing else seems to offer - but as life moves forward, he continues to return to Naknek every summer for the commercial fishing season.

A Road out of Naknek predominately moves in chronological order through different stages of a life. We are brought on a journey of contemplative exploration, inspiring us to strive toward a greater understanding of ourselves through the biological cycle of salmon, retreading the same path on a long-distance run, and the power and inevitability of the tide.
