MN Author Sarah Stonich and Her Novel Reeling

University of MN Press

Sarah Stonich was back with us on the KAXE/KBXE Morning Show. This time we learned about Reeling - her 2nd book in the trilogy of a public tv fishing talk show host. The Star Tribune wrote:

After reading a Sarah Stonich novel, I want to go fishing. I want to sitin a boat at dawn and plop a surface Rapala between fallen logs andreel it in across calm water. In her latest novel, "Reeling" — the second in a planned trilogy — Stonich dips into that meditative state,reeling the reader in with a beautiful tale of love and grief.
