"Reflections on Sage Lake" is a memoir of a half century of summers spent at a cottage in northern Michigan originally purchased by the author's in-laws. Having always dreamed of someday owning a cottage, she and her husband and their young family spend as much time as possible at a place that became a much loved home away from home. Sometimes humorous with stories about their children, then their grandchildren, the book is often nostalgic over the passage of time and dread the author feels as age and failing health prove a threat to their Sage Lake summers.
