HOW I ENDED UP IN ALASKA
From the Beach Bar to the Last Frontier: a four part series
This was why I had come back.
​
Not just for the views and the potlucks that would go late into the night, since it felt like the sun never went to bed.
​
But for this.
​
The way strangers waved from their houses. The way people shared whatever they had. Their food, their stories, their time…without keeping score.
​
In Alaska, I never had to prove anything. The community here made room for me without question. And in a world that so often felt transactional or performative, this simple, unspoken belonging was a gift.
"More Good is in no way partisan, but it is political – fiercely political. More Good embodies a form of empathy that is rare at this cynical moment in American “civil” discourse. The project is strangely foreign, attractively authentic, and profoundly necessary. Through the careful curation of stories, Latham calls us to a better, more productive politics – a politics that transgresses the boundaries between red and blue, that enters the homes of Trump supporters and Clinton supporters, and lends an attentive ear to those who stand and to those who kneel."

...soon to be a book for hospital waiting rooms.
From October 2016 to November 2019 Mary Latham drove her mother's old Subaru (in her honor) 43,000 miles across America to collect stories of acts of human kindness. A mission inspired by her mother's words that "there will always be more good out there, if you look for it." She hit all 50 states and now plans to compile the stories into a book to donate to hospital waiting rooms.
