💙 I'm a small town gal. Grew up in a small college town in Illinois, then left to go to college in a different small college town in Michigan, and have been a Michigander ever since.
💙Anatomy of a Murder is set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where I reside, and the film was shot in the UP, too. (Highly recommend both)
💙Adding a bonus book: The Overstory by Richard Powers. He was born and raised in my hometown in Illinois.

A view of Upper Michigan country justice in the 1950s. Full of “aw shucks” moments from a good ole country lawyer, but a good attorney nonetheless. The working of the case is superb and a good read. The perceived value of women (or lack of)is quite eye opening as well. Thank goodness we no longer all have to be like June Cleaver!!
