In her search for land to call her own-among tall pines and on a lake-newly single mom Sarah Stonich seeks a sense of permanence, a legacy for her son, and a connection to her heritage. Along this way, Stonich recalls family lore, meets remarkable characters, considers another go at love, and, finally, builds a cabin. But when her precious patch of land is threatened, she discovers that family is no less treasured with or without a piece of earth.

How do we value the land? Through the story of her tiny cabin in the woods, Sarah Stonich suggests-even as dark clouds of something other than bad weather gather above her cherished ridge-that the truest sense of place may be found not in the ground but in our hearts.-Michael Perry, author of Population: 458, Truck: A Love Story, and Coop: A Family, a Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg - "Stonich shines in her intimate portraits of the northern Minnesota experience. [Her] descriptions of the natural assets of this region are as gorgeous and detailed as a spider's web at dawn."-MinneapolisuSt. Paul Star Tribune "At times an adventure story, a sweet romance, and a laugh-out-loud monologue, Stonich's memoir is an ode to family, homeland, and Mother Nature. Shelter is the kind of book that will cling determinedly to memories as a welcome stowaway on our own Northwoods pilgrimages."-Lindsay O'Brien, Duluth News Tribune "In Shelter, I found a poetic memoir, a genealogical trip, and a picturesque travelogue that is absorbing to the last page."-Story Circle Book Reviews
