title: Whispering Pines: Tales from a Northwoods Cabin
author:  Elliott Foster 
description: "In Whispering Pines, Foster unearths some of the greatest treasures of Minnesota--her wilderness, history, iconsof time and place, and the characters depicted within generations of the Travis family. In this soulful journey, youtravel like a ghost, never having to go very far, yet intimately entering the landscape of memories, folklore, andunderstated Midwestern culture. As a love that comes softly and grows in its magnitude and scope, this vacation placein the Northland beckons stewardship and preservation from all its partakers, readers included."-- TheRural America Writers Center<br /><br /><span>A fantastic story of building a life, making new friends and memories, as well as the changing of traditions to adaptwith the times. The novel opens with exquisite descriptions of the history and landscape of Lake Dunbar. The novel is broken up into three parts, three different generations talking about the family, and reminiscing on their lives together. While each section is from another perspective,the fluidity and tone of the novel remains the same. Foster hascreated a compelling story about family, and the places that shape who we become. -- Red City Review</span><br /><br />"Elliott Foster paints a detailed picture of cabin life as experienced by three generations of the Travis family. You'll feel like you are one of the family."-- Teresa Thomas, author of<i>How to Tap Into the Power of Win/Win Connections</i><br /><br />"If Henry David Thoreau made an American icon of the cabin in the Walden Pond woods where he stayed off and on for about two years, Elliott Foster's cabin is a grittier place in Minnesota's Northwoods enjoyed by a family for several generations. In writing that is as fresh and clear as the cabin's lake waters, Foster recalls the simple pleasures and setbacks that make the experience in his beloved "Whispering Pines" getaway not only memorable, but vital to the family's identity, unity, and durability." -- Emilio Degrazia, Minnesota Book Award Winner<br /><br />"Loosely based on both the author's own experiences and his family's cabin journal entries dating back to the 1950s, this novel paints a vivid picture of cabin living on Lake Dunbar in northern Minnesota. Go ahead; immerse yourself in four generations of cabin tales. We recommend getting comfy in a hammock on a breezy summer day with this one." - Cabin Life Magazine
