If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska by Heather Lende
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting portrait of life in SE Alaska. After going on an Alaskan cruise this past summer and being enchanted by the beauty of the place, this was a very good reality check. The book is a collection of short vignettes of the author’s life in Haines, AK. She started as the gossip column journalist but ended up taking over obituaries, giving her a unique perspective on the community of Haines.
