L. E. Kimball's work has appeared most recently in Alaska Quarterly Review, Washington Square, Massachusetts Review, Lynx Eye, and Orchid. She lives along a trout stream in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Set during the years prior to World War I in Elk Rapids, Michigan, A Good High Place addresses familial struggles and those of a nation moving inexorably toward the age of the automobile. The sometimes painful adaptations of a faster-paced age are embodied, in part, in the struggles of Luella's father who, already troubled by the death of his wife, wrestles with the realization that his livelihood as a steamboat captain is becoming obsolete.
