After returning home from a week of school appearances in Houghton, Painesdale, and Baraga, Michigan, (and spending an enjoyable evening at the Portage Library) I received a a package of thank-you notes from the students in the Jeffers Middle School. My favorite was from Lana, who used the cover of my novel, The Journal of Otto Peltonen, to inspire her art work!

“The Hidden Room” is a novel by Duluth authors William Durbin and Barbara Durbin, set in Ukraine near the end of World War II. Written for young adults, it’s based on the true story of a Jewish family who took to a cave to hide from the Nazis. It’s a poignant survival story, anchored in specific details and propelled by the Durbins’ direct prose. The authors are donating half their royalties to Ukraine food assistance; the Durbins will be at the Bookstore at Fitger’s on Saturday at 3 p.m. to present their new book.
