Winner of the 2010 Northeastern Minnesota Book Award.
From the author of The Talking Stick’s 2009 first place fiction winner.
Award winning author Dennis Herschbach brings to life an engaging new story of growing up a country boy in rural Minnesota. In the 1940s and 1950s, when most of the country was absorbed in the post-World War II world of nuclear bombs and fast cars, Herschbach’s family lived without indoor plumbing or electricity. They picked berries in the summer, canned food for the winter, and hunted and fished for their meat. Herschbach’s stories of wandering the north woods with his bow and arrow and watching his parents as they struggle to eke out a life in this beautiful yet harsh environment tell the tale of a way of life that has disappeared but was vital to the development of northern Minnesota. Brown Sugar Syrup and Jack Pine Sand jogs the memories of those who lived that life, and it provides a glimpse of the past for those too young to have been there.
