In this new work, a young man goes on a fishing trip and comes home with a woman who becomes his wife. A whole new life opens for both of them — a sad story with a happy ending. Or is it? The Fisherman's Wife explores the stories we tell each other to make meaning of our lives, to rejoice together in our joys, and to survive the devastating pain we suffer.
