Heather Lende thinks it helps make life mean more. Since her bestselling first book, \u003ci\u003eIf You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e, a near-fatal bicycle accident has given Lende a few more reasons to consider matters both spiritual and temporal. Her idea of spirituality is rooted in community, and here she explores faith and forgiveness, loss and devotion--as well as raising totem poles, canning salmon, and other distinctly Alaskan adventures. Lende's irrepressible spirit, her wry humor, and her commitment to living a life on the edge of the world resonate on every page. Like her own mother's last wish--\u003ci\u003etake good care of the garden and dogs\u003c\/i\u003e--Lende's writing, so honest and unadorned, deepens our understanding of what links all humanity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeather Lende's new book, \u003ci\u003eOf Bears and Ballots: An Alaskan Adventure in Small-Town Politics \u003c\/i\u003eis available now. \u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 8.25 x 5.55 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52004685218093,"sku":"9781616200510","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/U1Z4NmlOZGY4NmNXSlFwR0xud1FlZz09.webp?v=1776743414","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/take-good-care-of-the-garden-and-the-dogs-a-true-story-of-bad-breaks-and-small-miracles-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
