Specificatii
As the obituary writer in a spectacularly beautiful but often
dangerous spit of land in Alaska, Heather Lende knows something
about last words and lives well lived. Now she's distilled what
she's learned about how to live a more exhilarating and meaningful
life into three words: find the good. It's that simple--and that
hard. Quirky and profound, individual and universal, Find the Good
offers up short chapters that help us unlearn the habit--and it is

us a fresh, positive perspective from which to view our
relationships, our obligations, our priorities, our community, and
our world. An antidote to the cynicism and self-centeredness that
we are bombarded with every day in the news, in our politics, and
even at times in ourselves, Find the Good helps us rediscover
what's right with the world. "Heather Lende's small town is
populated with big hearts--she finds them on the beach, walking her
granddaughters, in the stories of ordinary peoples' lives, and
knits them into unforgettable tales. Find the Good is a treasure."
--Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Owen's Daughter "Find the Good is
excellent company in unsteady times . . . Heather Lende is the kind
of person you want to sit across the kitchen table from on a rainy
afternoon with a bottomless cup of tea. When thin
