Weaving a tapestry of lives and landscapes, past and present, earth and water, Norbert Blei celebrates the unique heritage of Door County, Wisconsin, a spectacular peninsula reaching into Lake Michigan. Blei ponders the balance of nature in a place where locals, tourists, and developers vie with the native flora and fauna of forests and lakeshore.

Review
"Someday [Blei's] Door County will join the great mythical-real landscapes that include Salinas, Spoon River, and Yoknapatawpha."--Harry Mark Petrakis
"Norbert Blei is a writer the way people used to be troubadours and minstrels, celebrating what he has seen and heard and felt in a deceptively simple style reminiscent of the early Sherwood Anderson. . . . Like Anderson, he is a lover, and his affection invests his writing with a singular charm."--Sydney J. Harris
"Blei's friends and neighbors have not escaped the world; they are very much a part of it, involved in the vital issues of our times."--"Publishers Weekly"
"Blei has a fine ear and a genuine, searching, feeling humanity."--"Chicago Tribune"
"A fascinating assemblage of profiles that adds up to a vivid, feeling portrait of a region."--Studs Terkel
