Query: Last Chapter saved it from 1 star

This was one of the worst books I've read in the past 5 years. I was given this book and thought it would be tales about life in Haines, Alaska. The first chapter and last chapter were the only worthwhile chapters in the book IMO. Ive been to beautiful Haines and was hoping to read tales about the wildlife and natural beauty, instead I got a book about people dying. Death and the author's religious beliefs were too much for me. Again and again while reading this I thought why do I care? Imagine writing about 30 people that died in your town over the years and tell about how they died, what they did for a living, and then making a reference to God that is this entire book. I cannot believe that this was published. Alaska is not a main theme in this book and it could easily be set in any small town on the water in America. I can't recommend this, but if you ever have a chance to visit Haines jump on it.
