Echoes on the Lakefront

A story of family, friendship, loss, courage, and enduring hope.

Chicago, 1939. Eight-year-old Olaf Olsen lives in a world shaped by family, friendship, and the familiar shores of Lake Michigan. When circumstances carry him far from home and across the Atlantic, the lives of those who love him are changed in ways none of them could have imagined.

Echoes on the Lakefront follows the people separated by those events and the unexpected bonds of compassion, loyalty, and love that form in their aftermath.
