Bill McKibben, author of FalterThe writer whom the Los Angeles Times calls part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott now brings us her quirky and compassionate account of holding local office.Heather Lende was one of the thousands of women inspired to take a more active role in politics during the past few years. Though her entire campaign for assembly member in Haines, Alaska, cost less than $1,000, she won! But tiny, breathtakingly beautiful Hainesa place accessible from the nearest city, Juneau, only by boat or planeisnt the sleepy town that it appears to be: from a bitter debate about the expansion of the fishing boat harbor to the matter of how to stop bears from rifling through garbage on Main Street to the recall campaign that targeted three assembly members, including Lende, we witness the nittygritty of passing legislation, the lofty ideals of our republic, and how the polarizing national politics of our era play out in one small town.With an entertaining cast of offbeat but relatable characters, Of Bears and Ballots is an inspirational tale about what living in a community really means, and what we owe one another.
