520 "For readers of The Stranger in the Woods and H Is for
Hawk, a beautifully written and emotionally rewarding
memoir about a father, his three sons, and a scrappy 100-
acre piece of land in rural Michigan. Bruce Kuipers was
good at hunting and fishing, but not at anything else that
makes a real father or husband. Distant, angry, and a
serial cheater, he destroyed his relationship with his
wife, Nancy, and alienated his three sons--journalist Dean,
woodsman Brett, and troubled yet brilliant fisherman Joe.
He distrusted people and clung to rural America as a place
to hide. So when Bruce purchased a 100-acre hunting
property as a way to reconnect with his sons, they
resisted. The land was the perfect bait, but the moment
the sons arrived, none of them knew how to be together as
a family. Conflicts arose over whether the land--an old
farm that had been degraded and reduced to a few stands of
pine and blowing sand--should be left alone or be actively
restored. After a decade-long impasse, Bruce acquiesced,
and his sons proceeded with their restoration plan. What
happened next was a miracle of nature. Dean Kuipers weaves
a beautiful and surprising story about the restorative
power of land and of his own family, which so desperately
needed healing. Heartwarming and profound, The Deer Camp
is the perfect story of fathers, sons, and the beauty and
magic of the natural world"--|cProvided by publisher.
