Trade Review

"Laurie is a top notch storyteller and this book is an intimate and entertaining look at a wonderful career in journalism." —Cathy Wurzer


"This affectionate and insightful memoir may recount Laurie Hertzel's days at the Duluth News Tribune but it will resonate with anyone who has loved newspapers and newspaper reporting." —Louise Keirnan


"I thought journalists’ lives—aside from the stories we write about others—were ho-hum affairs. That was before I read Laurie Hertzel’s honest, engaging and witty memoir about working at her hometown newspaper in Duluth. " —Lake Superior Magazine
