Northern D'Lights

Ever wonder what it would be like to sneak onto a ski jump when no one was looking? Jerry Harju tells you how it's done in Northern D'Lights . Harju's second book continues his wacky anecdotal remembrances of growing up in Michigan's U.P., introducing a whole new cast of wild and wooly characters to tickle your funny bone. Hard-drinking, hard-fighting lumberjacks were generally men to be avoided, but one is lured into the local gymnasium to help the home team win a critical basketball game. In the early '40's, do-it-yourself funerals were commonplace, and Harju relates just such an event. How about impressing your date by taking her out to a potato field to headlight deer? Harju also describes his first encounter with the game of golf.
