Book Synopsis Mackinaw City by : Madeline Okerman Adie
Download or read book Mackinaw City written by Madeline Okerman Adie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich in history, magnificent in scenery, and abundant in hospitality, Mackinaw City lies at the very tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and is the area's own majestic playground. From early Native American settlements, French explorers, and fur traders to Mackinaw City founding father Edgar Conkling's vision to build a business center upon the south shore of the Mackinac Straits, Mackinaw City does not disappoint anyone who visits it. Due to its strategic location on the crossroads of the Great Lakes, this area has always been a gathering place for early inhabitants. When the railroad arrived in the late 1800s, it provided needed transportation with unique railroad and car ferries to and from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Today Mackinaw City still enjoys the distinction of being one of the most popular historical resort areas in Michigan. Through the insight of talented individuals who had the foresight to capture history with the interesting and colorful medium of the postcard, one is able to learn and smile at Mackinaw days gone by.
Download or read book The Dockporter written by Jim Bolone and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dockporter. He's got a bike, a basket ... and a whole lotta baggage. It's the summer of 1989. Jack McGuinn is a dockporter, transporting tourists' luggage, piled high in the basket of his bike on Mackinac Island, Michigan, a tiny summer resort where cars are outlawed and pedal-power rules. He's got the season wired tight: a family cottage on the bluff, a dream job, and a loyal crew of hell-raising, tip-hustling buddies. When his old friend-turned bitter rival challenges him to ride a record-setting load, he takes the bet and soon realizes he's not just carrying suitcases, he's carrying the future of the island, which is about to be paved over for profit. With the help of his pals on the dock and the love of a romantic, free-spirited Irish cellist named Erin, Jack digs deep to discover skills he didn't know he had. The Dockporter is an offbeat, nostalgic coming-of age-story that appeals anyone who ever had a summer job. If Rushmore director Wes Anderson remade Caddyshack but it emerged as a hybrid of Footloose and Meatballs (and was a book) it would be The Dockporter. Genre-smashing, hilariously fresh, yet refreshingly familiar, it's a novel about friends, family, love, luggage, and the summers we never forget. We feel the same way you do. The world's gotten a bit serious lately. So kick back, pour yourself something cold, and take a summer vacation, even if it's just in your mind. Because let's face it: we all need an island.

What they do next will determine the fates of thousands of Americans.

When an encounter with the bomb-toting terrorists occurs deep in the woods of the Upper Peninsula, Eliot finds himself in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with no alternative but to go head-to-head with these murderers. Rod may be the only person who can stop them. But he’s in over his head. Due to Eliot’s checkered past, law enforcement officials have him pegged for the crimes that unfold over the next few days. Only one, a seasoned FBI agent who is on his trail, thinks Eliot is innocent and is willing to prove it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the conference hall at the European Union quarters in Brussels. Thomas falls to his knees in utter shock as he watched the televised life-changing event. His head was pounding as if there was a blaring red neon sign that was going off, and on in his head were the words, THE ANTICHRIST SIGNS SEVEN-YEAR PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL! Like most Christians, Thomas believed that the signing of the seven-year peace treaty would not take place until after the biblical rapture. In desperation, Thomas cries out to God as to why he was left behind. To his astonishment, he later learns that the rapture hadn't happened yet! With his adult son's help, Thomas comes to the conclusion that the seven-year tribulation must have begun at the time of the peace signing with Israel. In desperation, Thomas restores his broken marriage and moves his family, along with a small group of people to the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. He finds refuge at a forgotten, old abandoned settlement, which he and Scott had accidently discovered prior to the peace agreement. Miraculously, the buildings were still all intact. They were even filled with personal belongings, which had not been touched by human hands since the 1800s. Thomas felt led by God to bring his people to the Keweenaw, so they could take refuge from the tribulation and the diabolic Antichrist. Life is a struggle for the nineteen settlers as they live much like the pioneers of olden days. Besides the day-to-day struggles for survival, there were romantic conflicts, new relationships, and catastrophes. Nevertheless, the new members of Old Town put their faith in God's hands in the cold, rugged hills of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
