Northern Light

Essays and True Stories

Northern Light gathers a diverse collection of essays, stories, and reviews that has something for every reader. Based largely on the observations and experiences of the author’s thirty-seven-year career as a public-school teacher and coach in New Hampshire, readers will be both informed and entertained by these stories and personal essays. Be inspired by the courage of a physically challenged student, humored by the escapades of a wildly ill-behaved family dog, and amazed to discover how freedom and equality are contributing to the deep political divide in America today. From the inspiring to the whimsical to the solemn and serious, this collection will make you wonder, make you laugh, and make you think. 

Praise for Northern Light:

 "Bill seamlessly juxtaposes philosophical wisdom with quotidian minutia. These tales are consoling without becoming cliché.”

— Paul Reyns, contributing poet, Common Ground Review
