In this collection, Sangster, a Duluth writer by way of Scotland and Canada, explores close family relationships in poetry and prose, weaving a complex fabric of characters and ideas. The images in this fabric range from the carefully composed tableaus of the most ethereal and uplifting of historical religious art to the quickly captured snapshots of the gritty and realistic urban landscape. There are threads of humor and of horror, sensitivity and love, cruelty and coldness, but they are always knit together with an eye for the telling detail and the depth and complexity of character only achieved by fine writers. Hazel Sangester is one of these fine writers. This collection is the proof.

Howard Jones grew up during the Dust Bowl in a tiny town in South Dakota. He saw the land change and has witnessed the evolution of America from an agricultural society to a consumer society. His stories of the days of the Great Depression and the dust storms that did their best to destroy all signs of progress and prosperity are marked with the realism and pathos of someone who has been there and lived through the tough times. Jones' writing gives you the people, the times, the land, the weather, the LIFE of America when America was young and brash and struggling to create itself.

Betty Powell, of Irish-Ojibwa descent, was raised in the traditional ways of her Ojibwa grandmother, along the shores of Sagnagons Lake in Ontario, Canada. As the white settlers moved into the area, their growing influence changed Betty's way of life. The history of Betty's family is a fascinating narrative of six generations of the Powell's, that began with great-grandmother Ka-way-wi-gest-kook, in the early 1800's, and continues to the present. Her tales represent how the Indians lived, adapted to the white settlers' ways, and survived in the northern Minnesota and Ontario wilderness during the first half of the 20th century. Nobody is more qualified to put Betty's story in writing than her life-long friend, Justine Kerfoot, author of 'Woman of the Boundary Waters' and 'Gunflint, Reflections on the Trail'. Kerfoot lived side by side the Ojibwa in the Boundary Waters for more than 60 years. She earned their trust, and they, in turn, shared their lifestyle, knowledge and beliefs with her.

Sociopath, murderer, thief...Bernard C. Welch was all these yet he passed himself off as normal. One of his favorite aliases, of the 11 known he used, was Norm. How did this One Man Crime Wave; manage to escape from two prisons, elude police for years and amass a huge personal fortune to become America's Most Wanted burglar? Reporter Jack Burch and Detective Jim King (who was the first to finger Welch) peel back the layers of the criminal career of the single individual that most Washington D.C. enforcement agencies thought was a gang of roving of thieves. The night of December 5, 1980 when Washington's most beloved cardiologist, Michael Halberstam and his wife Eliot Jones-Halberstam returned home to feed the dogs, Bernard C. Welch was doing his fifth burglary of the night in the Halberstam home. Halberstam fought back and Welch shot him twice in the chest. As Welch fled on foot, Halberstam, driving himself to Sibley Hospital, spotted the criminal and ran him down with his 1977 Monte Carlo. Halberstam died that night, but Welch--AKA Norm Hamilton--lived and the resulting trial became a media circus. This is the fascinating story of a criminal mind and life that wreaked havoc in the lives of thousands and thousands from New York to Washington to Duluth, Minnesota.
