Book Launch Party: Return to Wake Robin by Marnie Mamminga

Return to Wake Robin, by Marnie Mamminga has earned a starred review in Publisher's Weekly!

While Mamminga's story centers on their family's 1929 cabin on Big Spider Lake, much of the book draws on the swirl of activity at Moody's Camp, a popular resort which opened in 1922. Short chapters and black and white photographs provide glimpses into the life of the camp's adventures. A perfect book for anybody who believes in the restorative benefits of letting time stand still for a few months in the Northwoods every year. To order, click here.

Singer by Kerry Casey

Singer by Kerry Casey

Small town life can be epic. And everyday humanity often provides life's most riveting lessons.

Could it be that a child is the only salvation for someone who has suffered profoundly? In Singer, the highly acclaimed sequel to Fall to Grace, the love of a gifted four-year old boy and his single mother are the only hope for a hardened young man who can't seem to outrun tragedy.
