The windward shore : a winter on the Great Lakes / by Jerry Dennis, illustrated by Glenn Wolff.
Jerry Dennis's powerful and insightful new book explores winter in Great Lakes country. Grounded by a knee injury, Dennis learns to live at a slower pace while staying in houses ranging from a log cabin on Lake Superior's Keweenaw Peninsula to a luxurious mansion on the northern shore of Lake Michigan. While walking on beaches and exploring nearby woods and villages, he muses on the nature of time, weather, waves, agates, books, words for snow and ice, our complex relationship with nature, and much more (from cover).
