Synopsis

Back Up North is the book of Cheboygan Tribune Columns by Donald Holmes Lewis. They're really a series of very short stories filled with wit and wonder about his decision to move year-round to the Straits of Mackinac from the Ohio Valley. As Lewis and his wife struggle to make the transition, the magic of northern Michigan's magnificent landscapes and the remarkable characters that enter their lives have a transforming effect on them. Lewis' visions, both real and imagined, weave a story of the American Spirit. Collectively, the columns are a right of passage, a journey where perseverance and hope whisper through the pines.

Review:

Don Lewis writes with the certainty of a prophet. Taking up residence in the Land Below the Bridge, he bears witness to moments so true and finely-edged they might have been plucked from perfect memory, incandescent as if already blessed by time.
