Join us at the Rogers City library on November 7th at 7:00 pm as we are excited to host author, Bob Otwell and his most recent book, The Real Two Hearted:  Life, Love, and Lore Along Michigan's Most Iconic River. A book signing will follow this free program.  All ages are welcome.

One hundred years after Ernest Hemingway’s short story elevated the myth of the Two Hearted River into the public consciousness, Bob Otwell invites you to the riverside — to experience the revered watershed as it really is.

In The Real Two Hearted: Life, Love, and Lore Along Michigan’s Most Iconic River, Otwell reveals truths about the river’s past, present, and future in ways that only he can.

An expert in hydrology and environmental investigations, Otwell explains the river’s science and shares his thoughts about conserving the watershed’s delicate balance.  Otwell weaves together the rich history of this isolated gem in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula; he introduces colorful local characters, including the man named Boggy. And he reminisces about his family’s adventures at a beautiful and hidden bend along the storied Two Hearted.
