Product Description
Thirteen literary short stories set in northern Michigan describe the coming of age of Jack Young. Jack works at a canoe livery on the Platte River in what is now Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The stories focus on his efforts to find meaning in a world that seems increasingly dishonest to him. Jack's uncompromising search for truth becomes the source of his defiance.

 Good, but July 27, 2006
Sometimes a little too terse. It's occasionally hard to figure out what is going on (or how old the narrator is, or what he's doing or where he is). A nice little introduction to northern Michigan, though.

The loneliness of male adolescence has never been more movingly articulated.
