Serena B. Miller’s Michigan Northwoods series is set in the Michigan wilderness. The Measure of Katie Calloway (2011) opens the three-book series, followed by A Promise to Love (2012) and Under a Blackberry Moon (2013).
The novels take place during the logging boom era, when Michigan’s northern forests were being harvested at a rapid pace. The Measure of Katie Calloway follows a woman who takes a job as a cook in a lumber camp to escape a difficult marriage. A Promise to Love picks up with a different couple facing frontier hardships. Under a Blackberry Moon moves further back in time and includes a Native American perspective on the changing landscape. Each book works as a standalone read, though they share the same geographic setting and historical period.
