A Gift for everyone who has ever loved a summer home! The hilarious and heartbreaking story of an aging summer cottage, built to be "a refuge from grief with room for joy." Faced with the intrusion of an air conditioner, the builder's grand-daughter reflects on how the cottage has battled change as it fulfills its purpose-cosseting lovers, defying gangsters, sheltering wounded animals and children, and facing unique problems such as a porcupine in the basement, badgers under the support posts and a refrigerator in the bedroom. We watch the cottage adjust to history, fight for survival and always remain itself-a small house, nestled into the gentle magnificence of the Wisconsin North Woods.
Pat and Bob were completely prepared for their vacation. They had lived in Indonesia long enough to be ready for anything. Nothing could possibly go wrong. But what happens when the system breaks down? What if, to reach the destination of your dreams, you must travel on unexpected roads, sometimes frightening, sometimes heartrending, sometimes funny, and always challenging? What if, when you get there, your dream isn't what you expected? What if what you expected was somewhere else? And, more important, how do you get home? Going to Nias is a true adventure. "Excellent! Travel writing at its vivid best!" -Sir Oliver Baudert, (Order of the British Empire in 1976 for services in Indonesia)
