LYNN MARTIN</strong> and her husband moved to the
L'Anse area nearly 22 years ago and have no desire to
live anywhere else, in spite of the 250+ inches of
snowfall each winter. Terri is currently a regular
contributor to <em>UP Magazine</em> (Porcupine Press)
where she finds an outlet for her humorous stories.
Anthologies of these stories can be found in her books: <em>Church
Lady Chronicles: Devilish Encounters</em> (2021) and <em>High
on the Vine</em> (2022). Terri's recent middle-grade
children's novel, <em>The Home Wind</em>, received the
2022 U.P. Notable Book award. Her full-length novel <em>Moose
Willow Mystery: A Yooper Romance</em> was just
released.</span></span><br>

'man-making' adventure together comes when the camp boss has
the two of them go to Seney for supplies, which are running
low near the end of the winter. Jamie sees firsthand how his
friend is treated in the White world and the dangers to the
two of them from people trying to steal the camp money and
then the provisions. Gray Feather comes to the rescue in
both instances.</p>

comes, Jamie’s mother remarries one of the logging camp men
who has always been kind to Jamie. The family heads to
Menominee and from there to a sawmill town, taking Gray
Feather with them. The author puts readers right there on
the steamer, pitching about in the waves of a strong wind as
they head for Escanaba and then Menominee. I felt their
seasickness just reading it.</p>

inner conflict and resolve to have revenge on his
father—whom he has learned is in that area—comes to the
surface. Jamie must decide how to help his friend, keep to
what he knows to be right, and then be able to let Gray
Feather go his own way. Both find their 'home wind', or
purpose in life, in the process. The height of the action
comes as a wildfire rips through the sawmill town. Readers
can’t miss the symbolism found throughout the book and a
wonderful way to learn about the past at the same time. This
book should go far, and not just with young audiences. A
great discussion guide can be found at the end of the book
for classroom, homeschool, or adult book club use." <br>
