Brown Sugar Syrup and Jack Pine Sand

Award winning writer Dennis Herschbach brings an engaging tale of growing up a country boy in post-WWII rural Minnesota. While young Dennis spent his days wandering the north woods with his bow and arrow, his parents struggled to sustain a home without electricity or running water. Herschbach describes his boyhood with humor and compassion. He captures the spirit of a way of life that has all but disappeared, a way of life that was vital to the development of the northern Minnesota region. 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.
