A debut novel full of heart, in which love, friendship, and charity teach a young woman to live a bigger life. When Madeline Stone walks away from Chicago and moves five hundred miles north to the coast of Lake Superior, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she isn't prepared for how much her life will change. Charged with caring for an aging family friend, Madeline finds herself in the middle of beautiful nowhere with Gladys and Arbutus, two octogenarian sisters-one sharp and stubborn, the other sweeter than sunshine. As Madeline begins to experience the ways of the small, tight-knit town, she is drawn into the lives and dramas of its residents. It's a place where times are tough and debts run deep, but friendship, community, and compassion run deeper. As the story hurtles along-featuring a lost child, a dashed love, a car accident, a wedding, a fire, and a romantic reunion-Gladys, Arbutus, and the rest of the town teach Madeline more about life, love, and goodwill than she's learned in a lifetime. A heartwarming novel, South of Superior explores the deep reward in caring for others, and shows how one who is poor in pocket can be rich in so many other ways, and how little it often takes to make someone happy.

Yesterday I went to the library and did a kind of a fun (nerdy) thing. I‘ve been trying to clean up my Goodreads TBR and I decided to just pick up everything available that was on my “A” list (fine, and 2 non-A books, 1 that wasn‘t even on my radar... I‘m not perfect!) Luckily it‘s a good mix and now I can either read them or delete them from GR if I think I‘ll never get to them. It feels really satisfying and hopefully will stay fun for a while.

readordierachel What a good idea! 5y

7 novels this past month- for me a good amount. Now that I am back at work, September might be slower. Reading a short story tonight to prep for work- it's still August! Have so enjoyed this challenge even thoughI did not participate daily- loved everyone's contributions!

MrBook Nice pic! 8y
