[Michlib-l] Fw: Michigan Author recommendation

[Lynne Wiercinski]

While I recommend books to patrons every day, I do not usually do so to other libraries via our listservs. BUT...I am making an exception.  I highly recommend adding Bring One Home by local author Thomas Pelissero if you are looking to enhance your Michigan Authors collection or simply looking for a great read.
While the setting is the Upper Peninsula town of Bessemer's 1960s basketball scene, this memoir has an appeal that extends far beyond Bessemer and the U.P.   It is a beautifully written memoir that perfectly captures:

  *
Nostalgia for Days Gone By:   A heartfelt tale of a simpler time, living in a tight-knit community.
  *
The Universal Boyhood Journey: The story of an adolescent trying to meet the expectations of the adults in his life.
  *
Excellent Writing: Although this is his first book, Tom writes with the confidence of a seasoned author, and the professional production quality of the book itself is exceptional.
  *


Attached is an introductory letter from the author and a book sheet.  Tom will be giving a presentation at the Bessemer Public Library on November 1st in case anyone wants to do a road trip to the beautiful far western end of the U.P. to meet him!
