Outdoors writer calls Jerry Dennis "a national treasure"

Reviewing The Windward Shore, Michigan outdoors writer Dave Richey described author Jerry Dennis as "a national treasure" and said of Dennis' latest book, "We see, feel, hear, taste and touch winter along the Great Lakes, and we rejoice with the author as he examines everything about winter in this area."

The Windward Shore has garnered enthusiastic praise since its release in September, and Dennis has given popular readings from the book throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Here, Dennis collects his thoughts and reflections on nature as he recounts several walks throughout the Great Lakes region after a knee injury forced him to live life at a slower pace.

Richey, himself a prominent nature writer who retired from the Detroit News in 2003, concluded his review calling The Windward Shore "a truly wonderful read by a favorite author."
