I am from Wisconsin so I picked up this book because at the West Bend library they had a display of Wisconsin writers for the month and I picked up this book by Norb. I really enjoyed it and I came away with a great respect for Mr. Blei as he is a real-deal, bonafide writer who lived to write. His journey from the urban environment of Chicago to rural Door county is something I can relate to, having grown up in the city of Milwaukee and moved away to a rural county. I came away with a sense of dignity for being a writer after reading this book. God Bless and RIP Norb!!!
