"Emerald Rising" of the Birch Clump Reader series
These books are set in the pristine woodlands of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and spreads through Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota and Ontario, Canada.
They are works of historical fiction covering a period of 1934 through 2009.
Three predominate cultures interact, Anishinabe, Métis and Euro-Americans, in affairs of love, business, politics, civil rights and foreign wars. The
Anishinabe is made up of three Native American groups in these novels: Ojibwe (a.k.a. Chippewa), Potawatomi and Odawa (a.k.a. Ottawa). The Métis are the mixed race people. Euro-Americans,
of course, are the new Americans of European decent.
The Village of Birch Clump is the central setting. It lays along M-35 Highway along the north shore of Lake Michigan’s Green Bay between the cities of
Escanaba and Menominee, Michigan.
Major protagonists include Richard (Jacob) White and Job, born 1917. Other players include Randy, Erik, Dean, Trudy and Cynthia, who are Baby Boomers born
in 1951.
Emerald Rising: Birch Clump Village Reader, 1
After the morning sky lightens a bit, but earth is still cloaked in grey, a
great pulsating, green emerald forms where sky and water meet . . . then, with frightening speed,
the sun pops out of the massive water. In a split second the magnificent jewel flashes orange-red, then yellow before assuming her daytime color.
The novels and B.C. Readers have their tender moments, hilarious episodes, strained relationships, up lifting times and even a few violent encounters.
Many scenes are written in such a way as to virtually set the reader before the large cinematic screen, or even within the
setting as a silent observer. One can almost smell the fresh cedar boughs, see the early morning dew on the yellow lady slipper orchids and feel the invigorating breeze coming off Green Bay
and Lake Michigan.
