Descriere magazin:
Some writers look at life with their eyes, others with their heart. In this collection of personal stories, Damm does both. These are vignettes of growing up in small-town, rural Michigan, but also a closely observed portrait of mid-century America. Great Lakes Great Reads Award Finalist; Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist in Autobiography/Biography. In this beautifully written and illustrated collection of generous, poignant and humorous stories, Peter Damm recalls the joys of fishing on a northern lake, the rigors and confusion of childhood, or feasting on blueberries in autumn. These vignettes of growing up in small town rural Michigan, and a closely observed portrait of mid-century America are not just pretty postcards.

Wrestling with the riddles of his Catholic inheritance, we hear the questions of a smart, sensitive young man trying to puzzle out the mysteries of sin, sex, and spirit, and make sense of the adult world. There is a gentleness and humor to Damm\'s stories that invites the reader to reflect on their own journey to maturity. J. Ruth Gendler-Writer, artist, teacher. Author of The Book of Qualities, Changing Light and Notes on the Need for BeautyPeter Damm\'s stories about growing up in Michigan made me laugh aloud, cry, and occasionally wince when they hit too close to home. He infuses his stories with a deeply felt sense of place. The lakes and forests of his Michigan youth take on the presence of characters in his narrative. This is a lovely collection, well conceived a
