WAX BOATS, is Sarah Robert's debut collection of short stories where a rural island community comes to life in action-packed, evocative tales, and introduces thought-provoking characters caught between the encroaching modern, industrial world and the hard truths of lives lived at the edge of everything.

• An expectant mother turns to Native traditions to guide her through a safe delivery.
• A Boy Scout troupe rescues their own leader, and learns to welcome someone "from away."
