Summary

As she was digging deep into the lives of community members, Heather Lende, the obituary writer for her tiny hometown newspaper in Haines, Alaska, began to notice something. Even the crustiest old Alaskan sourpuss who died in a one-room cabin always had Halloween candy for the neighborhood kids; the eccentric owner of the seafood store who regularly warned her about government conspiracies knew how to be a true friend—his memorial service was packed.

    I really dug this book. It was all about appreciating the little things in life, like having cool neighbors and dealing with the occasional bummer of someone passing away. But the best part was how the author focused on seeing the good in people and not dwelling on the negatives.

    Being a pastor, I frequently find myself in a comparable position to the author, where I sit with families in mourning and weave together the tales of their loved ones. Although it can be a sorrowful task, it can also offer profound affirmation and enrichment to one's life. Heather Lende adeptly captures these aspects in her charming and heartfelt book. While the author's narration may not possess the polish of a professional, it evoked a sense of listening to a dear friend recounting some of her most significant stories.

    I thought the concept of this book was intriguing, so I decided to give it a shot and purchased it. I don't mean to be a downer, but to be honest, I found this book to be dull and didn't really gain anything from it.

    I've replayed this audiobook countless times. It's my go-to when I'm about to doze off. The author skillfully combines her own experiences with those of her friends and neighbors in the charming Alaskan town she calls home. It's a beautiful reminder of people's significance and the impact they have on one another. Personally, it has taught me to be more patient and appreciate the unique qualities that each individual brings.

    Heather is an author who truly warms the heart and excels as a narrator. At various moments, her vulnerability shines through in her voice, highlighting her genuine nature. This added an extra layer of authenticity to the book, making it even more impactful. As a Muslim, I may not fully align with some perspectives on death and the afterlife, but regardless, I found great enjoyment in reading this book.
