Get your copy of 'A Face in the Rock'

Andrew Norton

If you cannot find a copy of A Face in the Rock at your local bookstore and they are unable to order it for you then use the link below to purchase it at Amazon.com. They have a paperback version available for $16.95. A Face in the Rock - Loren Graham

I have not yet checked at our local bookstore, Lowry's Books & More, but I know that if it is not in stock Tom Lowry can easily order it for me and have it in a matter of days. I did notice that it is not in their online store so it most likely is not in stock there.

I am quite intrigued by this book after finding out about the possibility of it being made into a movie. It seems to be a rather sad and yet compelling story of the passing of the Ojibwe's nation and culture. Of course, I read everything I can get my hands on that involves Michigan history so it was a no-brainer that this would interest me.

Michigan book, 'A Face In The Rock' might become movie

Andrew Norton

Crews from Back40 Films have been filming and scouting locations near Sault Ste. Marie for a possible film adaptation of Loren Graham's 1995 historical novel, 'A Face In The Rock.' The book is about an Indian, “Powers of the Air,” who was the lone survivor of a battle between his Ojibwe and their hated rival, the Sioux. He was sent back to tell his tribe of the tribesmen being wiped out in the battle. The novel receives its name from a carving of "Powers of the Air" created in a sandstone rock on the shores of Lake Superior in 1820.

I have never heard of this book before coming across this article in The Mining Journal. The story has me intrigued and I have added it to my list of books to read.

You can find out more about the movie at www.afaceintherock.com.

Loren Graham is holding a book signing tonight from 4-7 pm at Falling Rock Cafe in Munising. The film production team will also be giving a brief presentation and their ideas for the film.
