Off the Grid in the Mostly Magnetic North
By Sarah Stonich
University of Minnesota Press, $16.95
As a newly-single mom, author Sarah Stonich seeks a sense of permanence, a legacy for her son, and a connection to her heritage. Along the way, she recalls family lore, meets incredible people, considers another go at love, and builds a cabin. But when her home is threatened, she discovers that family is more important than a piece of land. Set in northern Minnesota, Stonich’s memoir is part romance, humor and adventure.—Breana Roy
