There's no traffic light and no mail delivery, and funerals are community affairs. Heather Lende posts both the obituaries and the social column for the local newspaper. Whether contemplating the mysterious death of eccentric Speedy Joe, who never took off his hat--not even for a haircut; observing the Chilkat Bald Eagle Festival; or ice skating in the shadow of glacier-studded mountains, Lende's warm, folksy style brings us inside her busy life.We meet her husband, Chip, who owns the local lumber yard, their five children, and a colorful assortment of friends and neighbors, including aging hippies, salty fisherman, Tlingit Indians, and volunteer undertakers, as well as the moose, eagles, sea lions, and bears with whom they share this wild and perilous land
