“Find the Good” is a little book with a big heart. Heather Lende, obituary writer for the newspaper in Haines, Alaska, has done it again. Her latest book chronicles life lessons from her own family and the people who live in her remote, small town. Her wry and often poignant observations and reflections, however, are universal. Challenged to come up with a pithy piece of wisdom to live by, she reminds us through her stories that you never know what life will bring, but find the good. I once heard Heather Lende give a talk on her first book at a Barnes and Noble in Alaska. Her unpretentious manner and storytelling were winsome. She’s now a grandmother, and I look forward to each new book, brimming with wit and wisdom and always a bit of wackiness too.
