Fiction
A debut novel full of heart, in which love, friendship, and
charity teach a young woman to live a bigger life. When Madeline Stone walks away from Chicago and moves five
hundred miles north to the coast of Lake Superior, in
Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she isn't prepared for how much
her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging family friend, Madeline
finds herself in the middle of beautiful nowhere with Gladys
and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters-one sharp and
stubborn, the other sweeter than sunshine. As Madeline
begins to experience the ways of the small, tight-knit town,
she is drawn into the lives and dramas of its residents.
It's a place where times are tough and debts run deep, but
friendship, community, and compassion run deeper. As the
story hurtles along-featuring a lost child, a dashed love, a
car accident, a wedding, a fire, and a romantic
reunion-Gladys, Arbutus, and the rest of the town teach
Madeline more about life, love, and goodwill than she's
learned in a lifetime. A heartwarming novel, South of Superior explores the deep
reward in caring for others, and shows how one who is poor
in pocket can be rich in so many other ways, and how little
it often takes to make someone happy.
