Helpful Score: 2

Another memoir of life in the country told through essays. What I liked most about this book was its celebration, of Alaska, their town, but mostly their people. And, oddly, but perfectly, these folks were generally celebrated through their obituaries. At first I thought it odd, until I realized the author was the town's obit writer. And she did every single one of them honor. This book did not remind me as much of Northern Exposure as one would be lead to believe, but still, a fine read.
