Between the Waters: A Memoir by Dave Mickelson

From David Mickelson

This memoir takes the reader on a boy’s journey into young adulthood as he navigates triumphs and mistakes while growing up on the Lower Westside of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Wrapped by the mighty Chippewa River and the calm restful waters of Half Moon Lake, these waters not only framed his neighborhood, but would be an important part of who he was and who he would become.

Resonating with the Baby Boomer generation, this memoir invites readers back to their youth while also tugging at the heartstrings of Generations X, Y, and Z—encouraging them to reflect on the simpler yet deeply meaningful experience of growing up in the mid-century American Midwest.
