The Fish House Door
Set in a fishing village on a small island, The Fish House Door is a classic story of the value of heritage and history. Young Shawn comes from a long line of island lobstermen. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have all hauled traps, painted buoys, and cleaned their brushes on the door of the same fish house for decades. To Shawn, the door is just a weathered old piece of wood with broken hinges. But when an art dealer comes to visit, he offers Shawn a new perspective on the fish house door, giving him a fresh look at the people and traditions that have shaped his past and will chart his future.
