The Sawbrooks have lived on prime real estate on the lakes of Michigan since before there was prime real estate. A family of smugglers and bootleggers, every man, woman, and child in each generation has been taught to navigate the nooks and crannies of the rivers and highways that flow in and out of Canada. But today, the Sawbrooks are deeply fractured, and the money that's sustained the family is running out.

From author Michael Parker: "Mulhauser brings to mind other lauded Michigan writers—Elmore Leonard in the pitch-perfect dialogue, Jim Harrison in the attentiveness to landscape and wildlife—but The Trouble Up North, for a novel so deeply rooted in a place, is as much a state of mind.” And from Boswellian Tim: "These characters are bold and honest in a way that cuts to the American heart."

Travis Mulhauser is author of Sweetgirl, which was was listed for The Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, an Indie Next Pick, and named one of Ploughshares Best Books of the New Year, as well as Greetings from Cutler County: A Novella and Stories.
