The Northlander

You will read about how one family, despite extremely difficult

economic times, carved a living out of what was left of a great

timber industry, raised their family, and lived a difficult but

fulfilling life. Readers who lived during this period, particularly

Michigan Yoopers (a humorous nickname of people who lived

in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) and folks from similar rural

communities, will find themselves reliving many memories of

their own lives in the chapters of this book.
