The Drummond Girls

Mardi Jo Link

"A moving honest and laughter-filled account of eight women who gather one weekend every year and enjoy themselves to the fullest." --Kirkus Reviews

The Drummond Girls first met in 1991 at Peegeo's Food & Spirits in northern Michigan where at the time they were all waitresses bartenders or regular customers. When one of them got engaged they celebrated with a trip to Drummond Island-a remote 36-mile chunk of rock dive bars dirt roads and beautiful forests-where they became bonded forever. They've made this voyage every year since then as a way to retain a piece of their wild youth despite the taming influence of marriage motherhood and management. This year their focus is Beverly oldest of the Drummond Girls at 65 whose memory is beginning to lapse. Undaunted the other women intend to help Beverly remember all they've shared--every campfire every late night talk every secret confided.
