Deer Hunting from a Recliner: Reflections on Everyday Life in Northeast Wisconsin
Religion & Spirituality
Originally published as weekly articles in the Oconto County Reporter, this collection of essays offers a unique point of view on daily life in northeast Wisconsin. Raised on a small dairy farm, the author shares her views on topics ranging from gardening, to chocolate, to family farms and growing older, to raising children, and dealing with changing times—all while embracing life from a positive (albeit slightly unique) point of view. Visit the county fair and ride the Tilt-a-Whirl with the author and her son; learn where all of the cabooses have gone, and discover what brown paper sacks and rainy days have in common; dare to consider life’s ultimate question—‘Can pumpkin pies get car sick?’ From parenting, to doing dishes, to commuting to work, the enclosed stories will make you smile and inspire you as only 'Deer Hunting from a Recliner' can.

Taking the time to create a strong introduction for your report will engage your reader by providing a 'sneak peek' into both your topic and the material your report contains.
