The Long-Shining Waters is a celebration of Lake Superior. Three story lines, in three different centuries, are tied together by setting. Lake Superior has been here for eons, and will remain long after we're all gone. The stories in this book relate Superior's beauty, her strength and her fierce moods.
In 1622, an Indian settlement along Superior's shores survives various accidents and visions. In 1902, a young married couple homesteads on a remote beach. In 2000, a bar burns down, forcing the owner to take stock of her own life and propelling her to journey around Lake Superior, viewing her from all sides. The three stories are interspersed with mysterious poem-like snippets, as if told by Lake Superior herself.
Go ahead: open the cover and fall into the poetic prose. Each story line is related with great attention to detail and in powerful language that compels the reader to visit Mother Superior and pay homage. If you haven't seen Lake Superior yourself, it's time to make the journey. She's a true inland-ocean.
Read the book and plan your trip.
