A Rich Expression October 1, 2005
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
My family moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan just before my 12th birthday. Since moving to Texas 5 years ago I have a deeper appreciation for the U.P. I miss the rugged land, the deep woods, and all the waves and waterfalls where I had so many adventures growing up. Reading Lon's book brings back a lot of rich memories for me. If you love the land or are curious about the U.P. I highly recommend this book. Lon uses a lot of rich language to describe what it is like living in the Upper Peninsula. He mixes his own personal feelings, enjoyments, and reflections about the U.P. with a touch of historical facts. The blending of these two creates a rich expression of life in the Upper Peninsula. He also has a good recipe for pasties in it which I tried while living in Texas to have a taste of home. To my surprise my first attempt at making a pasty turned out really good.

Lon Emerick has captured the heart and soul of Michigan's Upper Peninsula--its extraordinary beauty, its people, its history--writing about both enchantment and eccentricities. The book is organized by seasons; you may find a new way of looking at winter! If you've ever been to Michigan--or thought you'd like to--this is the book for you.
