In the Summertime: Childhood at the little red cottage on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin

In the Summertime: true stories of a multigenerational family knit together through summers and holidays on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin.

The author’s childhood at the little red cottage was filled with dramatic summer storms, unfortunate incidents involving bunk beds and outhouses, and an uncle with a talent for inventive pranks. There was a secret fort hidden in ancient cottonwoods, an unwanted critter in the house, fireworks on the Fourth of July, and rainy afternoons with pastimes that fed the imaginations of seven children.
