Join us for a friendly, informal book discussion of The Seasons of the Emma Lee: On the Waters of Northern Michigan, a Great Ship Changes the Course of Lives Through Generations by Michael Lindley, led by the author. A longtime resident of Northern Michigan, his writing captures the beauty and intrigue of its landscape.

This event is a part of KDL's Just Imagine: A Celebration of Literature series.
