Join Michael Ripley as he takes you through the sixties as seen from the eyes of a boy coming of age during a period of strife in the country around him and terror right in the heart of his own lake-side neighborhood. Lake Stories begins during a time when doors seldom had locks, and works its way, with humor and suspense, through the decade when the locks were installed and gradually used more and more, until the bolts were set and double-checked on the way to bed every night.
