Growing up with Ross Lake

By KD Lawrence

Growing Up with Ross Lake is a nostalgic and heartfelt coming-of-age memoir set in the 1970s and 1980s Pacific Northwest. Through vivid storytelling, KD Lawrence brings to life a time when kids raced go-karts, delivered newspapers, climbed trees, and rode horses through backwoods trails - a world before cell phones, when friendship, adventure, and resilience shaped young hearts.

Told with humor, depth, and compassion, this true story embraces Native American and small-town identity, weaving family strength, cultural duality, and life lessons into an unforgettable journey. Readers of all backgrounds will find reflections of their own childhoods in these pages - stories of scraped knees, loyal dogs, powerful friendships, and unforgettable summer days at the magical Ross Lake.

If you loved books like The Boys in the Boat, The Glass Castle, or Where the Crawdads Sing, you'll fall in love with this inspiring, feel-good memoir.

"When we take the time to truly listen to each other's stories, we realize that we are not so different-every race, every family, every child has dreams, pain, and laughter. Unity begins with understanding."
