Short stories, this is the first of a series of "readers" featuring stories, poetry and art. Most feature the growing up years of Baby Boomers 1950 through the 1970s. Settings, for the most part are in the northern Great Lakes region, Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin. Several are works of historical fiction, others are simply folk tales. "Emerald Rising" is about two Native American teens escape from an 1880s era Indian Boarding School. "The Grocer" takes place in the early years of the Great Depression. "The Cure" is the Christmas miracle story that began my novels. "Car Keys" is a fourteen year old's mischief. "Erik Shoots the Train" is more foolery. "Fishing Hole" is a boy meets girl romance. It ends as a dangerous cliff hanger. Still more stories inside.
