Great Lakes, Great Reads Author Visit

Join Sally Cole-Misch for a conversation about her award-winning book, the Great Lakes, and her career with the International Joint Commission. Her novel, The Best Part of Us, is set on a Great Lake and is part of the Great Lakes, Great Read program designed to inspire passion and connection to the Great Lakes Watershed through reading. 

Whether you live near the Great Lakes or far away, their beauty, history, and significance are impossible to ignore. They’ve been home to 120 bands of Indigenous people, provided drinking water for millions, held flourishing biodiversity and 20% of the world’s surface freshwater and more. 

By diving into this project, you are deepening your connection to a system that shaped the U.S. and Canada, and continues to sculpt stories today.
