The Exact Place: A Search for Father
The first book in the Place trilogy begins with a large family crowded into a three-room farmhouse with no running water on swampland barely reclaimed from the Minnesota wilderness. It was a raw place where temperatures of 40 below could freeze a chickencoop full of hens. Margie's roots were tangled with the loss of her father and the desire to win her step-father's love. At the same time, a deep-rooted sense of purpose and place was awakening in her. The Exact Place is a beautifully written reflection on real life that is both heartbreaking and funny, with a keen eye for detail that gently unmasks the truth.
NOTE: This is a revised second edition of The Exact Place with a new foreword and a new epilogue.
