520    "For readers of The Stranger in the Woods and H Is for 
       Hawk, a beautifully written and emotionally rewarding 
       memoir about a father, his three sons, and a scrappy 100-
       acre piece of land in rural Michigan. Bruce Kuipers was 
       good at hunting and fishing, but not at anything else that
       makes a real father or husband. Distant, angry, and a 
       serial cheater, he destroyed his relationship with his 
       wife, Nancy, and alienated his three sons--journalist Dean,
       woodsman Brett, and troubled yet brilliant fisherman Joe. 
       He distrusted people and clung to rural America as a place
       to hide. So when Bruce purchased a 100-acre hunting 
       property as a way to reconnect with his sons, they 
       resisted. The land was the perfect bait, but the moment 
       the sons arrived, none of them knew how to be together as 
       a family. Conflicts arose over whether the land--an old 
       farm that had been degraded and reduced to a few stands of
       pine and blowing sand--should be left alone or be actively
       restored. After a decade-long impasse, Bruce acquiesced, 
       and his sons proceeded with their restoration plan. What 
       happened next was a miracle of nature. Dean Kuipers weaves
       a beautiful and surprising story about the restorative 
       power of land and of his own family, which so desperately 
       needed healing. Heartwarming and profound, The Deer Camp 
       is the perfect story of fathers, sons, and the beauty and 
       magic of the natural world"--|cProvided by publisher.
