<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Made into the movie, <i>Navigating the Heart</i>, starring Jaclyn Smith and Tim Matheson. Shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction and the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction BC Book Prize.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This is a love story; an unlikely convergence of two people from different worlds who were able to make a rich and tender life together, and not only endure each other's company in alarmingly close quarters but revel in it. <br/><br/>Edith Iglauer was born in Cleveland and lived an urban, sophisticated life in New York until she met and married John Daly, a commercial fisherman in British Columbia. She spent more than four years on his forty-one-foot troller, the <i>Morekelp</i> until his sudden death.<br/><br/>John Daly was an impassioned and greatly talented fisherman who was convinced that he could think like a fish; an amateur philosopher who worked out, and followed, an orginal set of beliefs and principles; a mystic who, after forty years of fishing, felt himself to be at one with the sea and the mountains along the British Columbia coast; a scholarly looking, high-spirited, full-blown eccentric who covered the white walls of his pilothouse with his favorite quotations in bold black letters (Lawyers spend their professional careers shoveling smoke. O.W. Holmes)<br/><br/><i>Fishing with John</i> established Edith Iglauer as one of BC's most popular writers. This unusual West Coast love story sold 16,000 copies in hardcover and continues to be a bestseller in paperback.
