Like coffee that has reached the perfect drinking temperature, women are most interesting when they have matured through life's varied challenges and experiences. "The Dream Catcher Tour" by Paula Buermele is an intriguing and sensitive tapestry of tales woven into a delightful novel that reflects the beauty and spirit of women. While touring interesting places and enjoying new experiences in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, forty- seven women also travel through the prism of time to re-visit favorite memories and share recollections with each other.
