Books for Fruit Country People



Another very bookish day in Northport wound up with a delightful visit from author Barbara Bull, who hails from down near Shelby, Michigan. Barbara is a fruit farmer, farmstand operator, a writer, and I now have three of her titles in stock, looking forward to a fourth by fall.

Benjamin’s Gift is a children’s story, a Christmas story, and a story tailor-made for those of us on Lake Michigan’s fruit-growing shore. 

Hardcover, oversize
$19.95

Cloud Cottage is a gentle, “cozy” mystery involving the Civil War, a shipwreck, hidden treasure, and the continuity of families who return year after year to Lake Michigan summer cottages. A sequel will be out later this year.

Paper, 284pp
$15.95


A Point of View: Blackberry Ridge, 1871-1884 tells of pioneer life and fruit farming in the 1880s in West Michigan. This book is an edited collection of actual newspaper articles of the time period, some of the pieces written by a journalist and fruit grower who lived on the same intersection where Barbara Bull now has her farm market.

Paper, 297pp, illustrated
$19.95
