People Magazine chose Tin Camp Road as one of its BEST NEW BOOKS
..."a mother-daughter love story…Faced with eviction and scrambling to make ends meet, Laurel Hill can barely keep herself and her precocious 10-year-old daughter afloat in the tiny Michigan town they call home. Laurel brims with fierce love for her daughter, but as their options narrow, will that be enough? Moving and brave.” –PEOPLE
“Airgood's characters feel true and rich, outwardly simple—the hardworking, salt-of-the-earth types found in every community—but internally complex as they strive for happiness, connection, fulfillment, and comfort in each other, their surroundings, and themselves. A leisurely read with a strong sense of place that is ideal for pairing with the stony beaches of Lake Superior or the sharp crackle of a campfire, or for experiencing the shift in atmosphere reading fiction provides.” —BOOKLIST
“heartfelt … Airgood offers an impactful look at the ineffable bond between a mother and daughter and the tenuous grip they have on their sense of home. Readers will fall in love with this story’s rich characters and scenery.”
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW
“An affecting portrait of the region and its residents, filled with love and pride.” —KIRKUS
