I loved this book from cover to cover! Heather has a gift for welcoming you into her world and making you care deeply about the people who live there.

As the obituary writer for her local paper and columnist for other papers she has a knack for telling a story. I found myself in tears, grieving with parents over the loss at sea of a young son when his fishing vessel sank in the cold Alaska waters. She also has a talent for making you laugh and feel warmly toward the many characters who populate her small Alaskan village. This book is chock full of real people living real lives, and she can make it fascinating. I've bookmarked her website so I can read more of her writing.

A very intriguing inside look at life in a small and fairly untamed Alaskan town. I highly reoommend it!
