When Libby joins a "History Alive!" group at school she has no idea how alive history will become until she and Nathan find themselves in Michigan's Copper Country in 1913, in the middle of the miner's strike!
Ragene Henry leads a double life. By day she teaches fifth grade in the small Upper Peninsula town of Gwinn. By night and in the summers she is a writer and co-director of the Upper Peninsula Writing Project. Her goal is to share her love of Upper Michigan history with children. To that end she has written three books, The Time of the Shining Rocks, about the discovery of Iron Ore in Michigan, An Enduring Christmas (Marquette, Michigan, 1850), about the first frightful Christmas that the pioneer families of Marquette spent in that wilderness outpost, and The Time of the Copper Moon.
Ms. Henry lives in the woods just south of Marquette with her husband Bill where she grows perennial flowers, makes quilts and plays her hammer dulcimer.
