About the Book

Johnny Hendricks, son and grandson of traditional Christian pastors in Grand Rapids, graduates from college and gets the calling to create a youth mission in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Soon after he arrives, he finds himself embroiled in a controversy dividing the city of Hancock right down the middle, and he is the cause. Problems that have been dormant for decades are suddenly brought to the surface, and this enthusiastic young man with no experience, a big smile, and a strong faith in God, somehow must resolve situations that have nothing to do with a youth mission.

Throw in an angry black bear, a kidnapping, a prison break, and a Pannukakku, and you have some of what’s going on in Keweenaw Grace.


About the Author

Holmes draws on the experiences of his own youth in creating this story of Johnny Hendricks, whose faith and calling bring him to the tip of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Over the last forty years, Brian and his family have made excursions to the Keweenaw Peninsula and have tried to absorb this culture woven between Finnish American tradition and a failed copper-mining economy. Hopefully, this tale will present the challenges Johnny faces at every turn, and through hard work, and the hand of God, wins the day.
