Copper Country Kristin Neva

Will bitterness keep Aimee and Russ from merging their life paths when forgiveness seems unmerited? AIMEE MALLON WRESTLES WITH FAITH, FAMILY, AND FORGIVENESS as she pursues her dreams. She's working her way through college and navigating a difficult relationship with her father, who's oblivious to the pain he's caused the family. She loves her boyfriend, Russ Saarinen, but he has his own hang-ups, which have led him to a rustic lifestyle in an off-the-grid cabin in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. COPPER COUNTRY is set on what the old Finns called Kuparisaari. Copper Island juts into Lake Superior from the north end of the Keweenaw Peninsula, where remnants of an industry long passed dot the landscape. Yoopers, the people of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, are rugged individuals, geographically and culturally distinct from much of America. Copper Country is part of the Copper Island series, but it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
