I grew up at the same time and about 50 miles from the author's setting for this book and could identify with many of her experiences. I especially could relate to her school experiences and enjoyed having those memories evoked to be re-enjoyed. I think Carol Brisson Zechlin would have enjoyed taking the fictional bus trip my characters took in The Dream Catcher Tour as they were drawn from people I knew and loved while growing up in the Upper Peninsula.

Books such as "Growing Up Yooper" are a valuable contribution to the rich cultural history of this special place in the North country.

My Dad actually grew up in Norway and is just a few years younger than the author. I bought this book for him and gave it to him for his birthday. He read it in less than a day, and was loving the fact that he knew all of the places that the author spoke about. I read the book after he did and loved it as well. My entire family are Yoopers, and since I spent my summers there as a child...I consider the UP "home". Thank you for writing such a great book and sharing your story!
