Description

In 2009, Loreen Niewenhuis walked completely around Lake Michigan. This book chronicles that journey, a 1,000-mile walk world wide’s fifth-largest lake. The book explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of an individual–a girl, married, mother of 2 sons (who joined her for portions of the walk). But a number of the walk was once done solo, an adventure in discovery of self and place.

Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she loves, a spot so elemental to the four Midwestern states that form its shores.

From a ground-level viewpoint, the book explores the natural and human history of Lake Michigan . . . and raises essential questions on preserving our wild places and protecting fragile ecosystems on which we all depend.
