initial vignettes and laid them out in a way that suggested they might become a book.
    J’ai Lisa’s interest at Kinko’s was heartening.

    About the Author
    Ann Michler Lewis grew up in Duluth, Minnesota, where she lived from 1944 to 1967. She graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and taught English at Duluth East High School. Since 1972 she has lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she and her husband raised their son and daughter, making periodic family pilgrimages back “home” to Lake Superior. She has privately published a book of poems and sailing stories called My Duluth , now out of print. Fascinated by how the power of place shapes the human story, she thinks British writer Lawrence Durrell has captured it best: “We are the children of our landscape. It influences behavior and even thought, in the measure to which we are responsive to it.”
