Jerry Dennis is in to it, and brings the fortunate reader along for the walk. Stories, observations, and lessons are seamlessly woven to illustrate how complexities mesh with simplicities in and around us. At the end of many passages I would loudly exclaim: "YES", as if cheering a great play at a sporting event.
The Windward Shore is so much more than a reverent glimpse of our Great Lakes region and season.
Jerry wields language poetically while deeply unearthing aspects of his subject matter you never knew existed. This is a book you'll want on your coffee table as it's as suited for a 5 minute infusion, as it is for an hour long lie down. Grab a few copies; you'll want to hand them to your friends. - Brad Purcell
