of the short form. As readers of her newspaper column and previous
collections will attest, she never disappoints. Her stories will keep

"Penned by Sharon Kennedy, a hidden gem in the wilds of Michigan's
Eastern Upper Peninsula, this book is a fine collection of humorous,
satirical, and poignant stories." -Jim Dwyer, Writer, Mackinac Journal
"View from the SideRoad weaves vivid tales with warmth and humor. The
author really knows how to captivate the reader with tantalizing
stories." -Jill Lowe Brumwell, Author of Drummond Island: History,
Folklore, and Early People
"Sharon Kennedy is one of the Upper Peninsula's premier writers. A
well-read columnist in the Eastern U.P., she has turned her attention to
writing books and U.P. literature is the better for it. Her stories are
reminiscent of Cully Gage's, Northwoods Readers, but with her own spin
and style." -Mikel Classen, Author of True Tales: Forgotten History of
Michigan's Upper Peninsula, recipient of Charles Follo Award /
Historical Society of Michigan
"For some sailors, climbing the career ladder on a Great Lakes freighter
involves paying a pungent price as illustrated in the story, 'Tank, ' a
wonderfully funny portrait of what can happen to a lifelong bachelor
oblivious to any sense of personal hygiene. This book is an entertaining
read." -Rich Hill, Author of West of the River, North of the Bridge
