Laurie Hertzel grew up in a big Catholic family in the midwest. There
were ten children and her parents were spread pretty thin when it came
to giving them any individual attention. When Hertzel was nine years-old
her oldest brother, 18 year-old Bobby, died in an accident.
In her memoir "Ghosts of Fourth Street - My Family, a Death, and the
Hills of Duluth" the author takes us back to that period in her life as
we witness through her eyes what it was like to be in that family and
how they dealt with their immense sorrow.
