Book Description
Set in the late 1950s, this is the moving story of a young boy whose father operates a ferryboat between Michigans Upper and Lower peninsulas. As young Mark witnesses the building of the new Mackinac Bridge, he is torn between family loyalty and eager anticipation. He cant help being awestruck by the majesty of the five-mile-long bridge that will connect the two peninsulas and change the lives of so many. But the Mighty Mac will also put Marks father out of business. As his father struggles with the flow of progress, Mark dreams of future bridges he will build.
