Press Release; Kyle's Book Released 11/13

Cornerstone Press Publishes Book by UWSP Alum

Kyle L. White, a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point alumnus, has had his book-length manuscript accepted for publication by Cornerstone Press. The book, titled Wisconsin River of Grace, is a humorous recollection of White’s childhood in, and current attachment to, Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin River of Grace is about the mysterious pull of God's Country—Wisconsin,” says White. “It's about the way we want a place to belong or, more accurately, the way we belong to places. And, it's about how those places shape us.”

White currently lives in Sycamore, Illinois, with his wife and two children. He is the founder of the non-profit organization Neighbor’s House (neighborshouse.org) which offers literacy enrichment and academic help for students in DeKalb County, Illinois.

Cornerstone Press is a publishing company formed by UWSP students enrolled in English 349, Editing and Publishing. Each year, the students in the class choose a manuscript from over a dozen submitted to the class, edit it, design it, and manage its marketing. All proceeds are used to fund publications in following years.

Copies of Wisconsin River of Grace may be purchased at these Stevens Point area bookstores: Book Finders, the UWSP Bookstore, and Book World. The book may also be obtained by using the purchasing form on the Cornerstone Press website (uwsp.edu/english/cornerstone).

White will also be signing books at Borders in DeKalb, Illinois on Saturday, December 12. Books will be available for purchase that evening.
