• What does Michigan look like to a Texan?

In this hilarious Michigan guidebook, author Wes O'Donnell is a long way from his home state of Texas, and he's constantly baffled by Vernors, Pasties and large bodies of fresh water. He's also humbled by the strength of the Michigan citizen; people who have faced down monumental challenges and staged the most epic comeback story in history.
