Title: Great Non-Fiction Account of Life in Alaska from a Former Westerner
Review: I read this through the "First Reads" program on Goodreads. This is an enlightening book of short stories written from the perspective of the author who actually lives in Alaska in a rural area of the tundra. Each of the stories has a different introspective message which is vetted through the eyes of someone living in this small village in Alaska.Something I appreciated more in this book than in others which were more historical that I have read is just how COLD it is up there and how difficult it must be for people to live there. The author really shows through Western-ized eyes how inspiring and amazing these communities are--it's almost like stepping back in time the way they live--except that they have snowmobiles and motorized boats. :)I really enjoyed this book even though I usually don't like short stories. It can be read in many different "sit-down" periods as each story really stands alone.
