The Tall Pine Polka

by Lorna Landvik

Tiny Tall Pine, MN sets the stage for a tale of friendship, tragedy, and hope. It also sets the stage for a Hollywood film: Ike and Inga.

The focal point of this novel can be found in the gatherings at the Cup O’Delight Café. This is the heart and soul of Tall Pine and the home of the Tall Pine Polka.

By the way, the Tall Pine Polka is not a dance; it is a state of mind. It is the sharing of one’s talents and the celebration of life in the company of good friends. Isn’t that wonderful?

There isn’t room enough to describe all of the great characters and subplots in this novel. Plus, I don’t want to spoil any surprises. Just read and enjoy this warm and sweet novel of friendship in small town Minnesota.
