"This book will inspire people to work with and for their neighbors
in all kinds of ways!" --Bill McKibben, author of Falter Heather
Lende was one of the thousands of women inspired to take an 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! And tiny, breathtakingly beautiful Haines isn't
the sleepy town it appears to be. Yes, the assembly must stop bears
from rifling through garbage on Main Street, but there is also a
bitter debate about the fishing boat harbor and a vicious recall
campaign that targets three assembly members, including Lende. In
Of Bears and Ballots we witness the nitty-gritty of passing
legislation, the lofty ideals of our republic, and the way our
national politics play out in one small town. With her entertaining
cast of offbeat but relatable characters, the writer whom the Los
Angeles Times calls "part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott" brings
us an inspirational tale about what living in a community really
means, and what we owe one another.
