Ellen Airgood's novel South of Superior takes place in a very small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Although calling a novel "heartwarming" usually is damning with faint praise, sometimes one wants a plucky heroine immersed in a small town where everyone knows everyone else! The characters are individual,quirky without being cute,and the plot moves along with enough action to make it interesting. Our heroine, Madeline Stone moves from Chicago to this small town to find out more about the family she never knew. Old secrets are found out,and Madeline comes to understand herself and the family members she is seeking. A fun and yes,heartwarming read. M.L.
