Celebrating the magic of summer on a freshwater lake, as well as a universal invitation to slow down and cherish the beloved and fleeting summer season

Miles and miles of soft sandy shores, quaint beach towns and nostalgic ice cream shops, fresh-picked blueberries and farmers market tomatoes, beach days followed by bonfires, swimming by day, then watching sunsets on the rippling surface by night, there is truly nothing like a lakeside summer.

Through creative and reflective essays, unfussy recipes, inspiring guides, and thoughtful prompts, photographer Tylee Shay, a lifelong Michigan resident, shows readers what a classic summer spent at the lake truly feels like. Readers of Life on the Lake will also be inspired to make the most of their own summer, including bucket lists, unplugging, beachcombing, and more.

  • "In Life on the Lake, Tylee captures the unique magic of summers on Lake Michigan. Flipping through the pages feels like coming home."
     
    Sarah Sherman Samuel, AD100 designer and author
  • "In my opinion there’s no better place to be in the summer than on the shores of a lake in Michigan. Life on the Lake showcases the unmistakable nostalgic experience of lake life in our state. Tylee captured the beauty of Michigan, and I would highly recommend her lovely book."
