In 2009 2009, Loreen Niewenhuis walked completely around Lake Michigan. This audiobook chronicles that quest, a 1,000-mile walk around the world's fifth-largest lake. The audiobook explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person - a woman, married, mom of two sons (who became a member of her for portions of the walk). But the majority of the walk was done single, an experience in discovery of self applied and place. Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she is in love with, a place so elemental to the four Midwestern expresses that form its shores. From a ground-level point of view, the audiobook explores the natural and human history of Lake Michigan...and boosts important questions about protecting our wild places and guarding fragile ecosystems on which we all depend.
