Star Lake Saloon and Housekeeping Cottages
An Abridged Audio Book
Sara Rath
As read by Jim Fleming on Wisconsin Public Radio's Chapter a Day program

"A diversion as pleasant as a quiet summer day at the lakeshore."
Publishers Weekly

In a struggle to save the nostalgic landscape of Wisconsin's Northwoods, unlikely partnerships and new relationships lead to life-changing events for loveable Hannah Swann and all who surround her. Through this sometimes humorous, elegantly plotted adventure with its appealing characters and lyrical depictions of nature, Hannah encounters the inevitability of change-in herself and in the nostalgic landscape of the deep North.

"Readers will enjoy how Rath has thrown in a bit of everything—mystery, family drama, love story, and comedy—and will certainly like getting to know Hannah as she fights big business, hot flashes, and her own resistance to this wild and lovely place."—Booklist

"Sara Rath's keen sense of detail and tender eye for small-town mysteries and interstices make this a heartfelt debut."—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and The Breakdown Lane

"Often hilarious, and always engaging."—Trudy Lewis, University of Missouri–Columbia
