6/25 MN Reads: "A River Through Two Harbors" by Dennis Herschbach

Former Two Harbors resident Dennis Herschbach already had three novels in his Two Harbors mystery series under his belt when he started writing "A River Through Two Harbors."  Then he read an article by Christine Stark in the StarTribune and his book took a turn into the only-too-real world of Native women being sex trafficked in the Northland.  When truth is more horrifying than fiction: Dennis Herschbach is our guest this morning on MN Reads.

Dennis Herschbach's "A River Through Two Harbors" recieved the Honorable Mention for the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award (NEMBA) in Fiction and is published by North Star Press of St. Cloud.  All this summer, we'll be bringing you books about the Northland, from the Northland by NEMBA award-winners and nominees.  He also won the NEMBA Award for Memoir/Creative Nonfiction in 2010.

She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland.
