The Book

Storyteller Evelyn McKeever recounts her inspiring life raising 3 children on Flag Island in Northern Minnesota's historic Lake of the Woods.

This book was written especially for our children: Michael, Ronald and Maureen, and for our grand children, to know a little bit about the good old days . David and I are over 80 years old now . The stories in this book are the way we remember them.

Little did we ever think in our wildest dream, sitting by a wood stove with kerosene light and three children out on an island in Minnesota for 17 years, that we would retire in Arizona with all these luxuries.

God has been good to us .

Enjoy the stories as you read them!
