Downstream from Here: A Big Life in a Small Place

Description

CHARLES R. EISENDRATH, in this series of essays spanning four decades, explores the things that grow lives of their own when left undisturbed at a second home — things like an “ancestor room,” a storm-struck forest, a player piano and a childhood fear of wild dogs. These essays are about the loves of a place inhabited temporarily, but which shape a person permanently.

Charles Eisendrath, an acclaimed author and journalist with deep connections to the Charlevoix area, is most recently the author of the foreword to The City on Three Lakes, A Maritime History of Charlevoix & the Surrounding Region (Charlevoix Historical Society/Mission Point Press, forthcoming July 2026)  

Hardcover: 255 pages.
