From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette News:
When Ginger Strand first heard the roar that fills the air around Niagara Falls she was hooked.
She was surprised by her reaction to the thundering rush of water. She was, after all, a college student who had come to the Falls with her boyfriend to smirk at the tacky surroundings and buy up kitschy souvenirs for her friends.
Yet as Strand explains in her new book, “Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, Lies†(Simon & Schuster, $25), Niagara Falls — and its complicated history — exert a magnetic pull.
