Pilgrim’s Bay
A novella by KJ Stevens
Set in a small Northern Michigan lakeshore town, Pilgrim’s Bay follows Aden, Jake, and Kali through grief, drinking, friendship, memory, and the quiet wreckage of ordinary life.
First published in 2007 and later revised in a darker version as BLACK, the novella moves through bars, back roads, rivers, lost parents, lost children, and the dangerous comfort of staying too long in the place that made you.
