Find the Good

Unexpected Life Lessons From a Small-town Obituary Writer
Jul 06, 2015
Heather Lende is an obituary writer in the small Alaskan town of Haines – not your usual profession. Each of her three books renders some aspect of this “job” and you quickly realize that community is a real practice in her small town and just how central the obituary writer is in conveying the beauty and laughter and tenderness of each life in this close-knit community. In her latest book, Find the Good: Unexpected Life Lessons from a Small-Town Obituary Writer, Heather shares the moments in researching and writing an obituary where she finds the good in each life no matter how that life was lived. In a way, Heather Lende is a subject in each of her books but she has opened herself up more in Find the Good. Read all her books, they really are wonderful. ~Krista
