Author of an award-winning first book extolling life in small-town Alaska, If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name and a frequent contributor to NPR's Morning Edition, The New York Times, and Alaska magazine, Heather Lende is down from her Haines, Alaska home to read from her newest dispatch, Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs: Family, Friendships, and Faith in Small-Town Alaska (Algonquin). From observations on the great beauty of the place she calls home to the community support she received in her recovery from a near-fatal accident she had as a bicyclist with a truck, Heather Lende in this book has written, "The best Alaska memoir of late, maybe the best ever." - Booklist. "The genuineness of Heather Lende's experience and her thoughtfulness about life's bad breaks and unexpected giftsexpressed so well in her fine and funny writingmake me want to ordain her as goddess of good sense and song." - Nancy Lord. Some of this book takes place in Seattle, with St. Mark's Cathedral's Sunday evening Compline service playing a part.
