Jerry Harju's first book, now in its sixth printing, has
become an endearing favorite among readers of all ages. Northern
Reflections is a collection of humorous and reminiscent short
stories spanning the
1940's as the author was growing up. But these stories aren't
just
about Jerry Harju; they're about people in small Upper Michigan
communities.
Every town has its local characters, and these characters are
skillfully
brought to life in Northern Reflections. Included are
"Appleknockers" who head north into the U.P. every hunting
season.
The stories bring back memories of flattening nails on the railroad
tracks,
setting pins by hand in the bowling alley, and getting his very first
car
(in Harju's case, a Model A Ford). Jerry still claims that the
funniest
story he ever wrote is in Northern Reflections. "The
Kloman
Inferno" describes the frantic attempts to get an ancient fire truck
started
in sub-zero weather to put out a chimney fire at the Harju house.
"What delightful reading!" Gene Perret, Head Comedy Writer for Bob Hope"Makes me feel young again!" Cully Gage, author - The Northwoods Reader |
