Lake Forest Moments, a book of twenty-two essays about life in Lake Forest, is now available at the following locations: Lake Forest Book Store, B. Dalton Lake Forest, Don's Finest Foods, Helander's Stationery, and Amidei Mercatino.

From the back cover: Just as Kathy Stevenson's novel The Lake Poet presents a social history of Lake Forest's singular past, these essays capture the contemporary spirit of this unique historic town.  Whether reflecting on the grand re-opening of Market Square, poking fun at the town's obsession with home tours, or contemplating the perfect summer day at the beach, the author renders a portrait of Midwestern sensibility that captures the essence of one of America's most notable communities.
