Twelve-year-old Emma’s life will be turned upside down in the summer of 1913 by a violent strike against the copper mining companies. Only the Finnish characteristic sisu will get her through it. Eighteen years have passed since Adam and Anne Delaney’s twin sons were kidnapped, ostensibly by one who wished them well. Now, after a string of useless clues and years of doubting their own sanity, the couple arrive in Istanbul where they have been told they will find the answers they seek…and hopefully the infant boys who—if even alive—would now be The hardships, struggles, hopes and triumphs of the men and women who served in World War I and World War II is wonderfully captured in Letters From Heroes.

Pirates, thieves, shipwrecks, sexy women, lost gold, and adventures on the Lake Superior frontier await you! In this book, you’ll sail on a ship full of gold, outwit deadly shapeshifters, battle frontier outlaws and even meet the mysterious agent that Andrew Jackson called "the meanest man" he ever knew.

True stories from the author’s fishing experiences with colorful anecdotes. Latest humorous hunting and fishing book from Bob Hruska. The story of how a Canadian-born dentist and Houghton entrepreneur changed hockey by openly paying players to come to Michigan’s Copper Country to play hockey.
