Keweenaw Stump Juice: true tales (The Peninsula Series)

By Julianne Sisung

Only a few people knew the girl who raised herself in the woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. With a coyote pup named Red and a crow, Heddi ate fish, mushrooms and berries and survived. In Keweenaw Stump Juice , it is now 1918. Prohibition causes upheaval. Lumbering wanes, WWI takes young men off to war, and Heddi matures. She is more comfortable in woodland isolation but allows a few relationships to develop. In the first part of the book, she learns to embrace Bizaan, Pete and Cookie, her lumberjack buddies. In the second part, she finds unlikely friendships with quirky characters like Bad Betty, Sweetheart, Skipper Stitt and Kishkedee. She discovers the unexpected faces friendship wears and learns the unsettling nature of love requires the courage to accept the uncertain character of tomorrow. She is smart and capable but won't be demeaned. She is fierce in her protection of Red and Crow, as well as her new friends and mother nature. And she walks forward - even in fear. This sequel to Red Jacket Angels displays the beauty of nature in every chapter and is alive with tales of the Upper Peninsula: Bete Grise's singing sand, the rumrunning Arbutus, the collision of SS King and SS Superior, and the Iron River Rebellion - the Scalcucci brothers' chianti insurrection. Heddi and her friends are woven into the enchanting historical tapestry.
