“Memory Lake” is first place winner in the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Inspirational category. *
Set along the shores of Lake Michigan, near the Sleeping Bear Dunes, time runs parallel between a present day journey and a distant place of memory where friendships formed and faith grew. Facing her mom’s recent passing, the author recalls another time in her life when she was learning to live without her. Told to her teenage daughter through a series of idyllic, challenging, and oftentimes humorous flashbacks, the author reveals camp’s lasting influence. These memories form a complex and entertaining weave of meaningful implications leading up to the impending camp reunion.
Through laughter, tears, colorful descriptions, thoughtful prose, and steady plot teasers, this memoir will infiltrate your dreams. Even if you’ve never attended summer camp, you’ll feel as if you have.
Take the journey back to “Memory Lake”.

Hi, I nominated you for the WordPress Family Award. http://juliencb.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/and-the-nominees-for-the-liebster-award-are/
Thanks Gardengirl! My mom earned one of our country’s first degrees in Early Childhood Development from Michigan State University in 1958. I understand why you have this degree as well; your kind heart and gentle patience with gardening and family really shines through your blog. Thank your for the nomination and congratulations on your many awards.
And the similarities continue…Is your second edition out yet? I didn’t get it the first time around and would really like to read it. Thank you so much for your kind and generous words.
It’s available now on e-book. The publisher is expediting final production, but that might be a few weeks or another month. I’ll let you know! Thanks for asking.
Hi, It’s been a while since we have communicated, but I wanted to let you know that I have not let go of my goal of writing a memoir. I still write whenever a thought or memory comes to mind and the story seems to be evolving and taking on a life of it’s own. Soon I will need to do an outline and get some organization to it. Thinking of you keeps the spark alive in me to finish this project. Thank you for that.
You are very welcome! I look forward to reading yours, some day.
