Reviews
“Written with ease and empathy, this is both about maintaining a household in Alaska and about being at home in the world.”
“Absorbing and reflective.”
“Dense and powerful…Tiny jewels that, gathered together, create a stunning effect of pure, dazzling light.”
“Part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott…NPR commentator Heather Lende…subtly remind[s] readers to embrace each day, each opportunity, each life that touches our own and to note the beauty of it all.”
“Who knew a writer could find so much human drama, simple pleasure and thorny issues in such a remote place? If you like the stories on Prairie Home Companion or Northern Exposure, you’ll love some real news from small-town Alaska.”
“Lende offers touching stories about neighbors with whom she shares wedding celebrations, potluck dinners, tears for missing fishermen—all the joys and sorrows of family life in a remote town.”
