Synopsis

Is it too late for a thirty-eight-year-old man to grow up? Little impacts John Thorneck’s life in his small northern Minnesota town of Migizi Ridge. He plows snow, he bartends, he gets by. He’s part of the daily coffee klatch at a local diner, he socializes with native friend Malcolm Blackbird and newspaper woman Karlene Langley and enjoys the occasional one-night stand. Life seems satisfying, until it isn’t. Banishment from Migizi Ridge, complications with his love life, and revelations from Karlene, Malcolm, and a cranky old Wisconsin woman provoke John to re-evaluate. Migizi Ridge is the much anticipated book II in the Small Town-Big Life series. “...Strong characterization and description of the locale have strength to make the reader laugh and just as quickly reach for a Kleenex to mop a tear...the ‘story within a story’ will remain long with readers after they put the book aside.” -Liz Woodworth, educator, theatrical director, and author of The Habits of Seven Highly Offensive People “...Add humor, a touch of romance, some real kindness and a strong plot for a fine read.” -Laurie Otis, author of End of the Lupine Season and other stories
