FINALIST: 2010 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS (Foreword Reviews) In his new book Paradise North, Lon Emerick celebrates both the village of Paradise (with wild blueberry pie at the Berry Patch Cafe) and the state of mind of many residents and visitors about the "land above the bridge." Includes 32 tales of a northern paradise told by a long-time lover of the Superior Peninsula of Michigan. Divided by the four distinct seasons of the region, the book is illustrated with 28 color photographs: Little Presque Isle in all seasons, storms on Lake Superior, Autumn color blazing from granite outcrops, fishing at a wilderness waterfall, ice rounds along the lake shore, and 23 black/white photographs and illustrations. Chapters range from excursions in all seasons, admiration for birds and wildflowers, out-of-the-way U.P. places, cautions about the region's future, as well as a nod to several talented residents. Chapters include: The Joy of Wilderness, Goin' Camp, Greening of the North, The Sound of Silence, Celts by the Inland Ses, A Daughter of the Land, From Lake to Shining Lake.

Chambers of Commerce won't be giving this book away any time soon! A high-spirited, humorous look at a special land and the challenges of living in a remote region with more trees than people, long winters, and two-track roads. Visitors are warned about the climate, insects, wildlife, local residents and other potential "dangers." In a more serious epilogue, the author asks that visitors tread gently on the land and fold themselves into the Upper Peninsula way of life that its residents hold dear. Illustrated with regional map and 12 black/white drawings.
